Top most successful ODI captains

Top most successful ODI captains: Team games are played by a set of people but they are all a herd unless guided by a leader, a captain to lead them to the right direction.

6 – Saurav Ganguly (India) 76 Wins

Forceful in his approach and style of captaincy Sourav Ganguly is the man who showed India the craft of winning matches outside the subcontinent. They generally did well and won at home, however it took an awesome group with any semblance of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble and Sourav himself to change their fortunes abroad. He would have second thoughts even today of having missed winning the world container finals against Australia in 2003. Yet, in the 147 matches he drove and 76 wins that India recorded under him he showed them more than what we see outside.

5 – Arjuna Ranatunga (Sri Lanka) 89 Wins

Sri Lankan cricket group stays to be in the shred of contenders each time that the Asian mammoths head into the competition, for the rich cricketing ability and culture they have. Yet, it took an extraordinary person (Arujuna Ranatunga) and his group to take Sri Lanka to the high of a world container title. He did as such in 1996 and is unmatched by any after group from the nation till date. In all he held the skippers post for 193 recreations and won 89 of those, his traverse was of around 11 years amid 1988-99.

4 – Mohammad Azharuddin (India) 90 Wins

Mohammad Azharuddin purchased with him the Hyderabadi polish, wristy-ness and class, from a batsman raised to captain of the group, Azhar dealt with the activity well, as the Indian group still had senior legends in there and with extremely youthful and gifted pool of cricketers making a section one of them obviously being Sachin Tendulkar.

3 – Graeme Smith (South Africa) 92 Wins

Investigating the historical backdrop of South African cricket one without a doubt becomes acquainted with that they have dependably been a focused, solid group yet in the event that we need to bind on one name that changed the work culture and morals, to a degree likewise the fortune of the group it must be Graeme Smith. Assuming control captaincy when their cricket was encompassed by billows of match settling he deleted everything with diligent work and camaraderie. South Africa reined as ODI and test champions under Smith as he won them 92 matches from the aggregate of 150 matches he played as chief of the group.

2 – MS Dhoni (India) – 110 Wins

Indian cricket has many immortal names in its records, but apart from Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar if there have to be two other names owning the tags of being the most celebrated cricketers from the country it is tough not to know them as Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. From a small town lad with long locks, rash shots, out and out aggressive attitude to Captain Cool he has made quite a transformation. So has Indian cricket, as his predecessors taught the team to fight hard and win, he led his men to calmness, instilled the confidence which ensured them superior control over the nerves than their opponents and this is what the success mantra was. MS Dhoni in his span as an Indian captain has achieved what no one else could, and is the most successful Indian captain in all the formats. Counting the number of wins he has, it takes us to 110* from 199* games and is the only captain in the list who is still active and leading the side. So a switch over is on the cards I assume.

1 – Ricky Ponting (Australia) 165 Wins

On the off chance that you have begun following cricket in the late 90's or mid 2000's you should not have seen a group and a chief superior to Ricky Ponting and his Australian group. His group not just won, they whipped the adversaries, the world would not talk about which is the best group, rather pay special mind to the one which could beat Ricky's. Australia saw players progress toward becoming legends and trophies come in parcels, two world mugs that he won are the most by a skipper without a doubt. Ricky keeps on being the best chief in ODI cricket history even in the year 2015. He has the best win rate at 76.14 with 165 wins in 230 which is likewise the most number of matches a player has captained a group in ODI cricket.
