The mugger crocodile machli killed was a 14 foot one. Your captive saltie is 5 metres, only 2 feet longer than the mugger. I agree salt water crocs have higher biteforce and are more aggressive but what a 150kg tigress can do can't a 300 kgs tiger kill a 20 feet croc? Even brother bear said machi killed a monster. Then much bigger tigers can clearly kill 20 feet saltie ofcourse not in deep water but on land but has the ability to steal salties prey in deep water. Ofcourse they may not be able to kill saltie in deep water.

The average sized male salt water crocodile is full grown is 17 feet 5.182 meters and around 1,000 pounds . The largest muggers are around 4.5-5 meters and max out at 700kg (1,543.2 pounds) now imagine the largest salt water crocs 18 feet or 20 feet. Lolong was a 20 footer and he weighed 2,370 pounds almost a 830 pound difference which is 376kg you were close. But still I don’t know if any tiger can handle a saltwater croc of that size a 300kg tiger if there is one is most likely to be found in northern India which saltwater crocs don’t live there so a huge 300kg tiger and a huge 20 foot salt water croc will never interact in the wild unless the tigers in the sundarbans and the other regions start increasing in size and start having 250kg+ monsters show up then it likely won’t happen but we can always hypothesize what could happen.
