Not disease vectors either.

Siberian (or Manchurian) Brown Bears have been known to kill Siberian Tigers in the wild..
"Another subspecies, U. a. manchuricus, inhabits the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, Amur Basin, Sakhalin Island and Ussuriland. It once occurred in North Korea and Northeastern China, but is now almost extinct there. These animals are large ([*****]some were documented killing tigers[*****]), and utilize a great variety of food..."

I eddited the [*****]s in to highlight the part refferring to the killing of Tigers...
Some other sources also mention two Tigers haveing been killed in the year 2000 by Brown Bears aswell.
Other non-Tiger animals that on occasion may kill a Tiger in the wild include most specifically the Indian Elephant or Rhino, and a Gaur.
Other then these, I don't see many non-Human or non-Tiger animals that naturally occur along side a Tiger that could possibly kill it.

The only wild land animals that could defeat a large Bengal Tiger 1 on 1 more often than not without question would be: Elephant, Rhino.
The only other species that stand a chance of besting the Tiger more often than not would be: Hippo, a very large Grizzly Bear, Polar Bear & Large Giraffes.
There is no room for questioning here. Any other big cat is noticeably inferior to the Tiger even though I know how many misinformed and delusional lion lovers there are out there.

Elephants, gaur, water buffalo, wild boar, mugger crocodiles, and dholes (in great packs). Lions have killed tigers in captivity, yet no longer interior the wild - a minimum of, no longer that we've information of. It possibly has befell faster or later in background, while the Asiatic lion replaced into greater well-known, yet immediately its variety would not overlap with that of the tiger. Nor have hyenas killed tigers - the only hyena in Asia is the striped hyena, an animal lots smaller than the tiger. It would not stay in great clans like its relative the observed hyena, yet in small relatives communities that would by no potential threat taking over a tiger.

The only animal which could in a tiger's natural habitat would be an elephant or a rhinoceros (or another tiger, as the answerer above said, though much less likely).
Nothing else could do so.

Actually any animal with horns, hooves, or any teeth could kill a tiger. They are just as strong against wounds as you and me. basically any hit in the right place could kill a tiger.
