Indian national cricket captains

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of all cricketers who have captained Indian national cricket team at the international level. The list includes all Indian captains of men's cricket, women's cricket and youth cricket. India became a full member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council) on 31 May 1926. On 25 June 1932 it became the Test nation after England, Australia, South Africa, the West Indies and New Zealand when they took on England at Lord's. They played only seven tests, which were all against England, before the Second World War, losing five matches and drawing twice. Their first game against other opposition came in 1947–48 when they played Australia.

The Indian team's greatest successes came in 1983, when they won the Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, and in 1999–2000 when they won the Under-19 World Cup under the captaincy of Mohammad Kaif. Also, under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India won the inaugral ICC T20 World Cup. India's most successful captain in Test cricket is Sourav Ganguly, who has won 21 of his 49 Tests at the helm. Mithali Raj led India to its best result in Women's ODI cricket when the team advanced to the finals of the 2005 Women's Cricket World Cup. Raj is also one of the three women's captains who have led their side to a victory in women's Test cricket, the others being Shantha Rangaswamy and Mamatha Maben.
