WHOM would YOU CONSIDER THE BEST EVER ODI CAPTAIN ?

Question

WHOM would YOU CONSIDER THE BEST EVER ODI CAPTAIN ?

Answer 1

~Clive Loyd and Arjuna Ranathunga

Answer 2

The most successful ODI captain of India is undoubtedly Sourav Ganguly. Bengal has produced this tiger who has stood firm and determined against all odds. His bold and spirited captaincy earned india many victories and made India the finalists of the 2003 world cup. He has been equally

successful in the tests.He has searched for young talents and brought forth the players like Yuvraj, Dhoni, Zaheer,etc. This man who has done so much for his country was unfortuntely expelled by the foul politics of Chappell and Dravid. By means of his sheer will power he has come back very strongly and today, he has scored a century against Pakistan in the Eden. Don't you think that he possesses an exemplary determination. and is a living source of inspiration to us all?



The most successful ODI captain of the world is Ricky Ponting. The fact that he has made Australia the champions in three conseqeutive World cups proves it.

Answer 3

No Doubt........Sourav Ganguly is best !!!!!!!!!!!



Look at his track record as a captain. When he has arrived to International arena in England Gr8 Gavaskar also commented that his selection was really pathetic...but he has replied with the bang...highest run scorer from both the teams on the juicy tracks, One of the top most performer of ODI's....He is the most aggressive captain of India who has fought with selectors for Yuvraj and Harbhajan Singh, who are performing very well after the initial hiccups...more so Sourav never brings regional politics in selection as some former captain of India has done in the past. He brings the Confidence and Fighting Spirit in the team which was always lacking when they will travel abroad. With his gr88 determination he makes an highly impossible comeback in Indian Team....or I should say most memorable comeback by any international player.

Answer 4

The best ODI captain according to me is Steve Waugh.



Reason:In the 1999 world cup when Australia had to win all the 8 matches to win the world cup he single handedly led the team to the victory.After the win the Australians have never turned back.He set the foundation for the team to be unbeatable both in ODI and Test.A great leader,a great performer.



There are many more reasons but this gains the predominance.

Answer 5

The best ODI captain in my list would be Ricky Ponting(Aus)coz he makes the most of his resources and is not hesitant to include new players in his team like Indian Captains keep on playing the seniors

But if u go for a non australian captain it would be Sourav Ganguly as he is the most successful ODI captain

Answer 6

As far as concerned to India, Sarav Ganguly is the best captain for ODI. In the world, Rickey Ponting always stands the best. Though Dhoni may be successful in 20 twenty, but ODI is more difficult when compared to 20 twenty. Because, the entire game can be changed in the middle overs. Ganguly took very good decisions and brought victory to India with his captency. His leadership qualities, spirit and command over the players made him a successful captain. Azar stands second to him.

Answer 7

As per me, it should be Rahul Dravid. I know even Ganguly had done a great thing in lifting the team morale . The management had not shown the confidence in Dravid because of which he had to step down. Being a technical sound player & a true reader of the game, as called by many great players, he with his non-agressive approach can lead the team much better than Ganguly or any other captain. Even the statistics of his captaincy speaks about his ability to lead the team in any given circumstances.

In last I wouild just say that even though he is not a captain but still he is a great cricketer & i would certainly go by his side.

Answer 8

In my view Saurav is the best ODI captain who has the guts and potential to beat all kind of strategies of his opponents. He led the team from the root and never tried to do anything extraodinary rather he did the miner things extraordinarily.



I like his gesture, his confidence and deadly attitude, which is a must when you are facing a tough opponent in the field. As a batsman he is a master stroke player on the off side. He can penetrate any field setting in the off side. He has no respect for the bowlers when he is in full flow in his batting. He inspired rest of the players all the time. He enjoyed the victory and accepted the defeat. Hence In my word "HE IS D BEST"

Answer 9

Ricky pointing and Steve Waugh. Saurav Ganguly, Kapil dev, Clive Lloyd, Imran khan and Shaun Pollock (for an non-Australian). For me Saurav Ganguly is the best ever Indian captain since he is the first to give more chances to young players like Sehwag, Yuvraj, Kaif and many others. He gave more chances when they are in out of form and groomed them, even the present and the past players have accepted that Ganguly is the best captain. All the effort put by him was spoiled by the great idiotic coach Greg Chappell

Answer 10

Ricky Ponting Is the Best ever ODI Captain.

As he takes the Decisions Quickly and his VICTORY Rate is Very High and he give the Inspirations in the Team Members.

He is also a Best Batsman in the World.After sometime he over-cross the RECORDS of Great Batsmen like Sachin,Lara,JayaSurya etc.

Answer 11

Sourav Ganguly Should be Considered as ODI Captain.



Now it is with Dhoni and no issues will be there until he wins. If he is going to lose then everybody will make him feel regretted of choosing the captaincy.



But in case of Sourav his previous experiences in Public Relation will help him. And we can say that he is blended as a captain (He can face worst defeats and big victories).

Answer 12

I think Imran Khan is the best ever Captain of ODI cricket as well as Test Cricket.



Reason: Captaining is simply not winning but it is building a team as well as building the confidence in the youngsters to do well.



Any captain can be successful if he is got the best players playing under him. But the best captian is the one who takes up the challenge to captain the average team which is low in confidence to make them the world beaters. I think Imran has successfully done that successfully in his whole career.



Imran was made captain of the Pakistan team in 1982 and led the Pakistani team under his captaincy to victory over every other cricketing country in the world.



He moulded them into a great team through his skills and understanding and taught them what team spirit was and made the players give their best instead of just playing

for themselves.

Answer 13

Arjuna Ranathunga. I think that he is one of the best ever captains because he guided an understrength Sri Lankan team to an undefeated world cup run in 1996. No one would have ever predicted a Sri Lankan victory (except Dulip Mendis who became a laughing stock during an interview). He made Sri Lanka a force to reckon with. Bangladesh, and Kenya could do with a frank speaker off the field and an aggressive fearless leader on the field like Arjuna Ranathunga.

Answer 14

I will vote for Arjun Ranatunga, Given the team he was playing with. he was a excellent strategist.! "Jayasurya and Mutthaia murlidaran are simply the contribution of Arjuna to world cricket" he turned a meanow team to World champion team.!! Who could have imagined Sanath Jayasury to make 10000 runs in ODI cricket beaing a number 9 batsman..!! and Murlidaran to take more then 1100 Wkts being trapped in so much controversies..!! he utilised the players and the situation so well.!! the way he charged and glared to Shane warne in world cup final 1998. It woz heart throbing..!! i just consider him the best..!! the captains discussed above already had world chamion team wid them..!! so if the team is good, the captain itself becomes good.!!

Answer 15

I think Ricky Ponting is one of best captain in ODIs. Australian team is the team with full of star players but Ponting can control them very easily. Though he is captain he can contribute very well as the batsman. But there are some batsman whom we should consider as the good captains like Steave Waugh, Hency Cronie, Clive Loyd, Imran Khan, Mansoor Ali Khan Patoudi, Grim Smith, Saurav Ganguly.

Answer 16

Ricky Pointing (current AU captain) and Clive Lloyd (former WI captain). Both of these men are/were excellent ODI captains who kept their teams functioning as a single unit while still allowing for the men within the teams to excel to their full potential.

Answer 17

My view Ricky Pointing is best my consider best ever odi captain because he is perfect odi captain. he suitable confidence and mind master captain. If his mind is run then other captain are failed beacuse he have a lot patience. So Ricky Pointing is best captain for ODI.

Answer 18

I believe stephen Fleming is the best ODI Captain considering the leadership skills he holds. He is one of the toughest captains for the oppsition because of the fihting spirit, Feild placing strategies, experience & the way he has taken to New zealand to New Horizons in International Cricket. This success can also seen in matches against rivals Australia & South Africa.

Answer 19

I think Steve Waugh is the best ever ODI caption, i ll rate him above Ricky Pointing. As a caption u need to be confident and should have the ability to lead from the front, Steve had a bit weaker team as compared to Ricky Pointing but the way he lead the team gave Pointing a team which is almost unbeatable, S. Waugh set the trend which Pointing carried on.

Answer 20

Saurav Ganguly, because he was a man with so much of leadership quality and also he is a best motivator in this present era. Saurav Ganguly not only brought success for indian cricket team but also he change the pattern of indian cricket , giving our team a habbit of winning matches against every team.Most of all as a captain saurav ganguly give the indian team some quality, based upon which today india become the one of the top three nation of world cricket.

Saurav is the man who showed india the path of success.

Answer 21

hey odi is a game where a captain play a very important role because of the is totaly dependent on the captain and if the team needs him hey had to play a very important role in an captained innings

so i prefered dat the best captain for india is sourav ganguly not because of his bad performance during his captainship but because of his aggresive nature and the spirit to show the world that india is not less than any other team india in the world though lost in the world cup final but did every one forget that day when his captainship lead india to win the natwest trophy and he showed the whole world and whenever the team had any problem from bcci or icc he alway stood with the team and fought with them

but if u ask about the whole world den i would sugest dat it is ricky pointing and steven fleeming because ricky poimtimg always answered oppontent teams victory over them with a win over them and steven fleeming because whenever the team needed he played an captains innings

Answer 22

I wouldnt put any of the strong team captains. We know australians are the best south africans are very good .

There is no doubt ricky or steve W or cronje were very good but look at the teams they had they were mighty.

I would put Indians World cup winners Kapil dev and MS dhoni to be the best because both times they were underdogs and motivation that they may have given the players, leading a young 'ish' team to victory takes a lot of courage

Answer 23

Well , I Think Ricky ponting is the best ever ODI Captain simply bcoz his record says it all and he marshalls his troops very well. He always pressurizes the opposition before the match and have a lot of self belief in himself and his teammates , dominates the game right from the start of the match .

Answer 24

Hanse Cronje, as when he took over the charge of the team team was new and he explored the potentials of his team members and achieved sucess for the team. He was very cool and handles the pressure situations very well than others. Some might say Ricky pointing but when he took over the charge from Waugh team was at peak and he had not done anything special. His captaincy has a big ? when u consider world record chase by South Africa against them, he was vulnerable as captain, having no idea what to do? So on Ricky Pointing ??????????????????????????

Answer 25

I would say it would be Kapil dev and i will tell u why,

He lead from the front to a world cup when the team were

underdogs and won the world cup and they continued winning after cup the as well.

Lot of people could argue that Steave waugh is the Best ,but look at his team he got bunch brilliant players and that same bunch is got 2 world cups under ponting.If steave is great then ponting has equally great how many could agree that?



Overall it was Kapil who is the Best and stand tall of All captains

Answer 26

I would consider Imran Khan to be best captain ever. Not only, he could successfully manage the Pakistani team, but also won the World Cup in 1992. Moreover, the Pakistani players during his tenure, used to play for him. That was the real unity and team spirit.



I don't consider Ricky Ponting to be a successful captain becuase Australia is team of excellent players. And captain's selection in Australian team would not impact the performance of team. So, whether Ricky Ponting or Adam Gilchrist, the performance of team wouldn't degrade and they continue to be a well-balanced team.

Answer 27

Well in context of ODI's the best captain ever in my opinion is Ricky Ponting.Australia are a terrible side with the highest winning rate in the ODI's under punter .Hence he is the best one for the job.

Answer 28

According to me Kapil Dev is the best ODI Captain for India. As, it his captaincy under which we had won the World Cup. And captain should be idol for the team, like Kapil Dev. He was great all-rounder of his time. So every player gets motivated by him, either it is in bowling or batting.

Answer 29

Undoutedly Steve Waugh is the best oneday cricket captain...The way he won the world cup 1999 against stronger oponents n handed over a world class team to his junior Ricky Ponting n left the international arena with a command n gravity he is surely the best ever in the list....

Answer 30

Allan Border of Australia, The first captain to win a world cup for the country from then on they did not look back. He is the one who made a decent team to a winning unit in his time, so he is the best one day captain ever

Answer 31

Sourav Ganguly,Ricky Pointing,Steve Waugh

Answer 32

It is Hansie Cronje of South Africa, he is acting a commander-in-cheif / King of the team and made quick plans to defeat the opposite, in some times he shouldered the whole team in all departments of game like batting,bowling & fielding. So he was the best ever ODI captain

Answer 33

Steve Waugh



Born: 2 June 1965, Sydney, Australia

Played For: Somerset, Ireland, Kent, Australia.

Batting Style: Right Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Right Arm Medium





A great captain ensures that the oppostion plays - be it a Test or an ODI - according to HIS plan. And Steve does just that. He is disciplined and motivated. He is also passionate, which has crept into his team-mates. And that is bad news for the others. He led Australia to 16 consecutive Test wins until India stopped them on their tracks (under Ganguly's captaincy).



Mike Brearley



Born: 28 April 1942, Middlesex, England

Major Teams: Middlesex, England.

Batting Style: Right Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Right Arm Medium





Mike Brearley was a master at extracting work (`play` would be the right word) from his players. He had two mavericks to handle - Ian Botham and Bob Willis. And he did his job with aplomb. So much so, both of them turned out to be the best in their business.



He had a deep understanding of his players and their problems, which in turn would help him get the best out of them. Probably, that is why he has an enviable captaincy record - a win percentage of 58.



Ian Chappell



Born: 26 September 1943, Adelaide, Australia

Played for: Lancashire, Australia

Batting Style: Right Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Leg Break





Ian Chappell was an inspiring example. He was forceful both on and off the field. But he was also dynamic, which meant his team-mates looked up to him. He led by example and expected his team to stand shoulder to shoulder at all times.



Both he and his tactics were respected by his team and followed to the T. He was a true example for the fact that until a captain fights from the front, the team would not fight.



Clive Lloyd



Born: 31 August 1944, Georgetown British Guiana

Played For: Lancashire, West Indies.

Batting Style: Left Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Right Arm Medium





One can argue that with players like Viv Richards, Michael Holding and Malcolm Marshall in the team any captain will be able to lead a team to the pinnacle. But seldom do we spare a thought for the fact that with greatness comes eccentricity, and to top it, each of Lloyd's players came from different islands - which would fight among themselves for a spot in the team.



Moreover, however strong the team members are, if the captain is weak, he is not going to lead you anywhere. Clive Lloyd won 14 of the 18 series he captained, losing only two.

Sourav Ganguly



Born: 8 July 1972, Kolkata, Bengal

Played For: Lancashire, India

Batting Style: Left Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Right Arm Medium





He is a wisp of fresh air. Before him, the Indian captains would just sulk and take whatever the opposition threw at their teams, but here we have a captain who would stand up, put his chin up and give it all back (ask Steve Waugh, he knows).



His positive and attacking brand of cricket, has not only instilled the fans` confidence in him but has also resulted in a very confident Indian team. Anything is possible, under his captaincy, for his players know their captain will stick his neck up for them. As of now, he is the most successful Indian odi captain.

Answer 34

Imran Khan will be the first choice for this... Captain is someone who is looked upon by everyone and who can make individual play as a team. He had a charisma of a Lion and in true sense was known as a Captain. He had the right sight to pick talent and would always stand by his team.

No doubt that there are others also who have been good captains for their country, but i would rank Imran Khan at No 1.

Answer 35

Arjuna Ranatunga of Sri Lanka. Back in 1995/96 he changed the way batsmen score in ODI matches. The style of his openers Sanat Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitarana was imitated thereafter by everybody. Ranatunga could beat the mighty Australians in the 1996 World Cup finals using his strategy. Arjuna Ranatunga is King of ODI.

Answer 36

This is a vague question to ask. First of all let us decide what a good captain means? Is he the person with best stats or is he the person with best leadership skills, best understanding of the game and understanding of his team mates. A captain must remember that the team does not play under him; the team plays with him. His contribution will be valued above all, but even if he is the best sports person of that particular game, if its a team game, he needs 100% of his team to win. He may be leading an average team but the mark of a true captain is to lead an underdog team to newer heights. Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh has unbeatable stats to back up their claim; no doubt about it. They are remarkable captains and no body can deliver stunning performances like them in real pressure situations.......no doubt about that too. But if you compare the Aussies or the SAs with the 1996 WC Sri Lankan ream, you will understand what Ranatunga had achieved. They completely changed the format of the ODI games. Who can forget the hard hitting Sri Lankans, the superbly accurate solo show of Vyas,the hypnotic spells of Murli and the thrashing of bowlers by Jayasurya. Similarly credit goes to Sourav for building team India, a young team India out of the scandal of Cricket betting. Again Kapil Dev also deserves the Kudos for India's biggest achievement in the game of cricket. He defeated the mighty windies with a far lesser competent team.

They will be a part of greater legends than anything else. Personally I would like to remember Steve Waugh because he had the cool to say it to the person who dropped his catch in the Semis of the World Cup"Son you have just dropped the cup". It was this attitude of his which got transformed into stunning display of cricket when he was playing. Many say Saurav's torsal display and shirt swinging act as a mark of supreme arrogance; but I see it as an act of pride. They are the sportsperson who have entered the hall of fame.

They are the captains remebered by team mates for their brilliance which cannot be fully captured in stats. Rahul Dravid's stats do not make one understand the value of his technique, Sachin's straight drives cannot be exprssed with stats.So greatest captains are those who have given birth to greatest of cricketing trivias and legends.

Answer 37

Ricky ponting is the best ever odi captain coz he has succeeded 2 continue whtever Steve da has done or achieved 4 australia.

Answer 38

Like another consumers dragged in, i does not communicate approximately Sachin/Bradman situation, as Aussies themselves have proved Sachin to be the suited. shifting directly to Ponting, Ponting's contribution has been lots extra, than purely as a batsman. He has won Australia many fits as a captain. His place has been necessary as a captain, and since the no.3 batsman for extra suitable than 15 years. Ponting's contribution is purely too super for Australia. yet i might say Bradman. because of the fact Ponting wasn't even interior the checklist of desirable ten, arranged by using Dr.Nicholas Rohde of Griffith college. Kallis, Tendulkar, Dravid, Lara are some batsman extra suited than Ponting, of this era.

Answer 39

I too believe Rahul Dravid is the best ODI captain ever, His decision are very rational and based on quantitative as well as qualitative analysis. Doesn' t play favorites and doesn't compromise his own position in the game.

Answer 40

To my opinion kapil Dev, Steve Waugh, Fleming, Azharuddin and Hansie Crojne are the best captain for ODI's matches.

Answer 41

Ricky Ponting

Answer 42

Ricky Ponting

Answer 43

Ricky Ponting

Answer 44

Ricky Ponting

Answer 45

i would consider that the great STEVE WAUGH of AUSTRALIA was the best ever ODI captain though many considered him to be of value only in the test team in the latter part o fhis career...he actually is the only player on whom you could entrust any task and he'd gladly oblige you.i just loved the spirit with which he played.there was no lack of intensity when he played and this rubbed onto his teammates.i'm sure his teammates would agree to whatever i've told...thats all i can say!!!

Answer 46

In my Opinion, Steve Waugh, Sourav Ganguly and Hansie Cronje were the three best Captains. They handled their teams very well. They were fully agressive but controlled. Used their resources really well. Leaded by front when needed. they had leadership quality, sense of taking right decision at crunchy situations.

Answer 47

Ricky Ponting

Answer 48

Ricky Ponting

Answer 49

I personaly feel Rahul Dravid. He is a calm,patient and aggressive person. Under Rahul Dravid, India never went under first 5. He was the one who got India among top-5. He always plays a captain's innings.The early exit in the 2007 W.C was because there was nobody who supported Dravid. There was a lot of pressure on our team. Otherwise if you see, in Dravid's captainship India mostly won. Now too unselfishly he quited as a captain,saying that he is ready to play under anyone.

Answer 50

Ricky Ponting

Answer 51

In my opinion, Steve Waugh is the Best Captain. As far as India is Concerned RSDravid is the best. Although No. of Matches we won under his Captaincy is Less, One should agree with me the efforts he took to mould the current Indian Team. Wins against SL, Pakistan, SA and England were examples for this.

And when every thing seems to OK, he stepped down from the captaincy himself stating that he likes to concentrate in his batting. Also I thing DADA is Good but next to RSDravid.

Answer 52

I rate Allen Border as the best One Day Captain. He so Strong in the Last stage ot the Match. Still. I have not seen a captain like him. He is so strong in leading the team to sucesses

Answer 53

Ricky Ponting

Answer 54

Steve Waugh, without any doubt, What team Australia have today is not merely team of Ricky Ponting but for this team foundation was led by Allan Border and Steve made it such an strong team that not even today but in coming years no other team can touch the standard of Australian team. Indian team has trio of greatest ever Batsmen in the history of cricket in Sachin, Sourav and Rahul but due to lack of Captaincy, they could never touch the standard set by Australian team, Sourav was a bit but not up to that standard.

Answer 55

No.1 Hansie Cronie from South Africa

Clive Lloyd from West Indies

Ricky Ponting from Australia



To conclude, I can say Hansie Cronie is the best captain of this whole World since he had the best fielding support like Jonty Rhodes, etc. as well as very good seam bowlers, Allan Donald. South Africa also had many alrounders also.

Answer 56

Ricky Ponting

Answer 57

Ricky Ponting

Answer 58

SOURAV GANGULY because is a aggressive caption whom indian cricket team have ever seen in its history.. his captaincy is a class act.. he really has all the qualities with him which are must for a good odi captain..

Answer 59

I like to consider ricky ponting of australia because he is a consistent player. He look only to win matches for his continent,in the field he looks cool in controlling the game even though his team is in pressure. He has a good game plan against the opposing team while his team batting in a pressure situation he asks his players just to rotate the strike until they get settled and he is also a good encourager to his team members either they play good cricket or bad cricket.

In every match he hardly tries to show his better performance therfore he is a good captain for me, now every country needs such type of captain who can give confidence to his team in winning games and puts the team in no 1 position.

Answer 60

according to me odi captain souraw gangully because he is one of the greatest captain .he taking 2003 world cup runners what a effert in this period so many matches are won india both test odi's. so ganguly is the best captain for india.

Answer 61

IMRAN KHAN, he had a young inexperienced team in 1992 when they won the world cup. His big guns were not firing and he took it upon himself to lead the charge. Aussie captains are rubbish because of the fact they have a fantastic team the captain has very little to do in fact just toss the coin the individuals do the rest.

Answer 62

my choice is Sir.Vivian Richards. Those who is having deep knowledge about cricket and saw the win-dies performance in between 1980-90 can vote only for vivian richards. Even now a days the australian team's performance is just like a performance of win-dies team in early 80"s. A clean sweep victory,bowling,batting and fielding track records are always "THE BEST" under the captain-ship of Vivian.

Answer 63

Steve Waugh & Ricky Pointing both are the Best of Best

because Steve Waugh had Courage to Defeat Oppsite

in Last Over also & Ricky Pointing has Stamina to Crush Oppsite Side

Answer 64

Ricky Ponting

Answer 65

Austrian captain Riki Pointing

Answer 66

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the best ODI captain

Answer 67

Dear,

As per my opinion Mahendrasinh Dhoni will be the best ever ODI captain.

Answer 68

Dhoni is the best captain of India because he is more agrasive and brave captain. He takes a dissision very bravely and enjoy the match every time and every minites. He cannot feels any prassar. He would also play very well. He lead team very well. So say Dhoni is the best captian of Indian cricket team.

rahul

Answer 69

In my opinion Steve Waugh is best captain in ODI. He had taken responsibility on his shoulder whenever team is in need. I remembered the match between South Africa and Austraila in 1999 World Cup in which Steve Waugh after dropping from Klusner pointed that you lost world cup. He has full confident on his team.

Answer 70

I think Saurav Ganguly is the best ODI and test skipper ever because he has made a bunch of individuals to perform as a unit

Answer 71

Ranathunga,Kapil Dev,Sourav Ganguly

Answer 72

The best Captain ever according to me is Shoaib Malik because he never pressurises his fellow teammates because even without pressurising them he is capable of getting almost best out of them.He has surely proved to be an excellent Captain especially during the world cup becase we should not forget that captaincy was new to him but he carried it Pefectly.He has excellent managing skills and one very good thing about him is that he never hesitates to speak in hindi/urdu and a person surely cannot play for his country in true sense if he feels shy to talk in his Mothertongue.

Answer 73

Riky Ponting Australiya

Answer 74

Im sure it has to be Ricky Ponting. The way he accepts challenges and makes tasks difficult for the opponent is the only quality which sets him apart from the other skippers and therefore is rated to be the best captain in one day cricket

Answer 75

The Lion of Bengal Sourav is the best Captain

Answer 76

Sourav Ganguly for India & Hansie Croje for SA & Ricky Ponting for Australia

Answer 77

Imrankhan is best ODI captain and by his leadship skills he has made pakistan world chamipion in the world cup. He has the ability to use player potentials and also bold enough to take courageous decisions. He is able to tacke the Miandad.

Answer 78

Of course Kapil Dev is the best one day captain because he is the only guy when India needed and he played , even he was bowler though he did his work best with the bat when team required... and he changed the system of playing in India , the former players are always playing for not to loose and he was playing to win....... thats why kapil is the best ok

Answer 79

M.S.Dhoni is the best captain ever because in most of the matches in which he has became captain India has won the match.He is also a young captain and also takes advice from his senior players. I think he should be the right captain.

Answer 80

For me rhe best captain ever I have seen in my life is Steve Waugh. I appreciate his beleifs and feelings for the cricket. He was so gutsy and once he has taken decision he never thinked to take back those decisions. He is the only man who has given new face to the cricket by changing the perception of his mates and due to him only today australia is at the zenith and every team in the world dreams off to defeat the aussies. If any team defeats aussies for that team it is huge thing and achievement.

Answer 81

Sourav Ganguly

Answer 86

Sourav Ganguly

Answer 87

Well,according to me all the captains who lasted for more than 5 years are good,because they were fit to be captains.Still,when asked for best captain,i'd say Ricky Pointing,because he keeps up the team spirit,makes proper planningand uses all the resources.

Answer 88

MS Dhoni

Becase he is the best wicket keeper , Captain ,and batsman in the world.He is a champion captain who won first ever additon of T20 Wcup in the magnicent aura of cricket history.He outplayed austrailian team in each n every aspect of game by his unmatchable skills of managing the team even in crunch situations.He withheld pressure of Indo-Pak match both times unbelievably. In just in few months he is at the top of the world and under his captaincy Indian team is climbing a ladder of success.He undoubtly is the best captain so far.

Answer 89

Undoubtly, Itz DADA. Who has the lively agression & thrist for Success. Ricky having the world's best team so it is not good to say him as a good captain. But my own DADA has the presence of mind to get the match back in his golden arm. A true patriot with a passion to win.

Answer 90

Steve Waugh all time best captain and Sorurav Ganguli for India

Ricky Ponting, Australia

Answer 92

Sourav Ganguly

Answer 93

Allan Border for Australia.

Border was the leader who brought Australia as the best team, with consistent performance.It was his dream and plan which gave Australia the image of an unbeatable team. Waugh and Ponting are only following this path led by Border.



Ganguly for India. He was the leader who instilled the fighting spirit and confidence to team India. But some" big bosses" of BCCI did not allow him to complete his mission.

Answer 99

I think Sourav Ganguly is the best O D I captain. He got courage to handle the situation & he knows how to control over the field.

Answer 100

sourav Ganguly along with kapil dev is the best indian captain we ever had. steve waugh, pointing and late hansie cronje was also excellent captain for their respective countries. Yuvraj singh can be one of the best captian if he is given the opportunity very soon. he has great batting skills and great fielding and he can win matches own his own. Additional responsiblity will make him perform better thats the reason he is best bet.

Answer 101

For India m.s.dhoni is likely to prove the best ;Kapil ,yes, but only when players played well, there was no genuine strategy ,the rest ,well ,were captains too! Australians always played as a unit with great team spirit ,captains took the laurels.

Answer 102

Mahendra Singh Dhoni. After the World Twenty 20 has not lost a single series. That is 100 % Victory in his hands!

Answer 103

From all Cricket playing nations- Ricky Pointing

From India- Kapil Dev

Saurav Ganguly

Answer 115

Steave Waugh is the best ever ODI Captain.The way he lead the team in1999 world cup semifinals is amazing.He is the true leader with a brave heart.

Answer 116

I think Rahul Dravid is one of the most outstanding captain India has got till date.Hecomes to the team's rescue at a time when everybody has left the hope.

Answer 117

Dravid was the best captain for India,people donot think the other captain got win due to the run machine ie Rahul Dravid but the SR. player made him to resign from his post we have won two test series which was dream for our team I donot have the stastics but I read one blogs and that blog shows the Dravid performance the person who was watching the attitude of our sr. cricketer towards the game they donot bother about the country to get the Dravid out and the result was in the last world cup,Dravid was the one who is having self respect and attitude to work hard resign from his post to have diginity towards the country

Answer 118

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Answer 119

Ricky Ponting

Answer 120

GANGULY is the best captain from my perspective. His leadership and management skills are incredible. I think captaining the Indian team is the biggest challenge which ganguly has done a great job.

Answer 121

Imran Khan is the best captain. He brought great Ws (waqar and wasim) aquib, inzamam and many young players. He use to lead his team in batting as well as bowling. He took raw and inexperienced talent to win the world cup



But I rate Steve Waugh, Kapil Dev, Cronje and wasim akram equally good.

Answer 122

Saurav Ganguly

Answer 123

I feel it was Martin Crowe first and Arjuna Ranatunga the next.

Crowe was a master strategist and his plans failed only once i.e in the 92 WC semifinal when a spirited Pak halted his run.



Arjuna Ranatunga backed his boys and whenever needed led from the front. He had a lot of talented individuals in his side but he made them the stars they are today.



The attacking cricket we see today was pioneered by these two stalwarts.

Answer 124

i would consider wasim akram as the best captain.. as he brought an aggression in the team and re united them as a unit and great players were made in his regime..such as saqlain mushtaq.. abdul razaq.. shoaib akhtar.. shahid afridi.and mohammad yousuf all of these players came under the captaincy of wasim akram. and he build the team by leading from the front and had a never say die atitude

u cant compare anyone to ricky ponting he got a gifted team built by steve waugh and mark taylor..

hansie may be the best captain of all times but he is not in my list because of his match fixing.. my list is



1. wasim akram

2. steve waugh

3.michael vaughn

4.saurav ganguly

5.stephen fleming

Answer 125

Azhar is the best captain for ODI & Test. he is a aggressive and cool captain.

Answer 126

Sourav Ganguly....Would u believe he brought confidence to INDIAN Cricket from no where....The team was in tatters under sachin's capitancy and the match fixing scandal



Overalll in World level I would favour Steve Waugh Equal to him...



Ponting had a good team to back him....so i wont consider him the best

Answer 127

Ricky Ponting.

Answer 128

the one only Saurav Ganguly

cause the last worldcup which held in 2003

that cup was ours the only mistake is to the fielding after winning the toss even there is a reason for that, at that moment india was in fullswing in chaseing the score that's the only mistake



all the way Saurav Ganguly is the best for ever

Answer 129

I consider Sachin Tendulkar is the best ODI captain ever b'coz he has more talent & he is the highest run scorer currently.

Answer 130

For indian team sachin is best captain because when sachin was captain he not scored more than 20 runs!!!



The best captain is Ricky Pointing because he never think about lossssssssssss

Answer 131

Saurav Ganguli was the best ever in indian cricket, because he has the power of engriness to show the defender that what we are example is in lauds saurav ganguli poen up his t- shirt after winning the match just because few months later same behaviour did by lans clusner in india after winning the match.

Answer 132

In my veiw ricky ponting is the best captain he show confidence and generate a spirit among player by his game but his job is simpler as Australia had a great players. For indian team, sourabh is best

Answer 133

Hey..Ricky Ponting is a realllllllly gr8 captain.

Its lyk he was born to be captain.

but wht makes me really wonder is how people would ever vote for Saurav Ganguly.......

I know he was "ONCE" a big SIXER HITTER----- but wht 'bout now????

He is not fit for an ODI match.....He is damn slow at getting runs.

His patience can be used in test matches but not in the ODI.

Same is the case with the legend- Sachin Tendulkar.

Answer 134

Ricky Ponting....he is a master and well supported cast around him. He will go as the best Skipper of all times in ODI

Answer 135

Sourav Ganguly



Ofcourse, Eden's prince is the best ever captain in world teams

Answer 136

According to me it's Arjuna Ranatunga................

Because the way he lead the team during 96 wc ......

on those days Srilankan team was very weak team.....

but the way he guided the team... and they won world cup also .. beating Australians.......... thats great............ cool captain....

he only changed the style of ODI....

And even our Kapil Dev also did the same job... but I didn't see those matches.........

That's why THE BEST EVER ODI CAPTAIN is Arjuna Ranathunga............

Answer 137

Answer 142

According to my opinion the best captain was Australia's Steve Waugh

Answer 143

DADA -THE GREAT ------ is the best ODI captain. He turned the timid Lamb Indian team into bunch of match winners.The present status of Indian cricket on the field is all because of DADA .He developed the thirsty of winning among our boys,his period was golden period of Indian cricket except that final WC'03. See the Aussies ,always interested to play against our boys than any other team ,seldom they are even jealous of us too,,,, all because of DADA. DADA your great.

Answer 146

Imran Khan. Nobody comes close to him.

Ganguly, Steve Waugh, Ranatunga, Azaruddin, Cronje, fleming are good captians as well.

A dude says ganguly sucks but he is better than dravid as a captian(i've left him a message). Another dude who's listed says miandad was a good captian, i disagree he was a good coach.

Answer 147

saurav ganguly . Bcoz team India was made by him. After match fixing scendle he was the one who make team again.

He given the all new players who is doing well today. Ricky pointing has got a radymade team to lead ,. Thats why ganguly is the best.

Answer 149

With no doubts ; 'Mr. Sourav Ganguly'. Because if I would say Mr. Kapil Dev , then it would be unfair on the part of present day cricketers as one day cricket is at its peak at the moment, and Mr. Ganguly has been the only one who has taken our team to the World Cup finals, surprising the world.

Answer 150

As Australia is concerned they can win even with a weak captaincy. But for india Ganguly made a useful contribution as a captain. In his period only great players like yuvraj,sehwag,kaif,dhoni,pathan came in to picture. Not only in batting but also in field setup and bowling changes Ganguly is remarkable.

Answer 173

Dravid, as he never promoted himself only to promote others and gentleman of jury.When he was dropped from odis,he never showed it up publicly.

Further,opinion is after all based on one's perception.we tend to rationalise our perspective nature. "Best" should not be merely based on statistics of wins and losses.The wholeness of a person should be taken.And that is ver y difficult task.Dravid comes close to likeability in all areas.Further, if people dont deliver.............and you should know the politics involved and players loyalty to others.Yes, he surmounted and thus he has emerged as a true leader.

For Indian context, Kapil Dev is the best, who give us the winning habits and won the world cup, when non one was expectig India to win the WC. As far as Ganguli is concerned, he did before B grade teams and got maximum opportunities.

For world teams Ricky ponting is the best.

the best one day captain according to me is hansie cronje.



if you take ricky ponting, he usually have a excellent bowlers and batsman , so it is very easy for him.

if you take ganguly.he did have a good support from tendulker, dravid, pathan, harbajan, who were in peak form at that time.the captain himself is a excellent allrounder.

hansie cronje is exceptional- he made his players play according to the situation. he grabbed the best out of even a ordinary player so he was such a successsful captain

Answer 186

i believe ricky ponting is the greatest odi captain,his strategies always work and does he contributes with the bat.has the highest winning percentages

Answer 187

Imran the Irresistible Khan!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is the all time best Captain that ever the world cricket has witness till today, you can forget him but you cant ignore him, what ever so called quick thinking of today’s world cricket captain does is just shuffle of his creative decision taken before

You call it in shuffling of Batsman or getting part time bowlers or quick change in field or even change in management, to take risk or to discover new face in world cricket he is really unmatchable…so my choice is IMRAN KHAN !!!!!

Answer 188

Practically Speaking......Ricky Ponting... the weightage that one should own in captaining a team .. with full of stars... and individual identities... well the way he managed the team and constantly kept on their standards... even after.. shane, Glenn, etc retired.... his innings in world cup final V/S INDIA tells everything abt his toughness.....

Answer 206

Ricky Ponting

Answer 207

In case of ever , I think Sorav Ganguly is d best of all.... coz he is d person who could manage the match more firmly as a captain

Answer 208

The best ever captain Late.Hansie Cronje. He was the best of the best the cricket world have ever senn..... He was the one who took the team from dust to top of the world.... and not to forget Africa is the only team who managed to bring Ausie to the 2nd spot in ICC rating.... which they are gonna do it again.... and its all because of Cronje.....

Answer 209

Obviously ,one and only one Sourav Ganguly because of his fantastic strategic game and ability to change the losing game to a winning streak.He`s the best and ever will be the best, whatsoever responsibilty be given to him.

Answer 210

Kapil Dev, Imran Khan & Arjuna Ranatunga. They inspired otherwise mediocre players to win the worldcup.

Answer 211

I feel it is Hansie Cronje.He created a sense of unity and

togetherness in the south african team.Even his strategies

rarely failed be it bowling Pat Symcox in the first 15 overs or

changing the batting order. It is sad that he had a very very

bad end.

He's the best till now India has according to me.

Answer 253

i think it is Hansie cronje

Since the work of the captain is to motivate the players and he was good in that

and also he was working very hard to win the match by booking the opposite team..

Answer 320

Hansie Cronjie and ricky pointing

Answer 321

If you say Saurav is the best ODI captain, then you haven't analyzed properly. People are confused with aggression to arrogance. Saurav displayed his arrogance by taking off his shirt, shouting at others, giving bold statements against others and showing up late during the toss etc., that's pure lack of professionalism than aggression.



He was the worst batsman in Indian team for continously for two years until he was booted out.



if he was the greatest ODI captain of India, why would India remain in 7th position continuously for two years?. Go and check the standings of India during 2003,2004 and 2005.



He is remembered only for taking his shirt out during Natwest series (when Yuvraj, Dravid and Kaif helped in getting remarkable wins) and going late to toss against Steve Waugh. And then during 2002-2003 worldcup when we got into finals. But look at the opponents we played against. We played against Kenya in Semi Finals!!!!!! Wasn't it mere luck?. How did we fare in the finals?. We lost miserably and looked like no match to Australia. We played as if it was mere luck to get to finals.



If you look at the numbers, Dravid is the most successful captain India ever had. We lost against Pakistan in India, Srilanka (IOC cup) just before Dravid took over. When Dravid took over we won against Pakistan in Pakistan with a huge 6-1 margin, against Sri Lanka with 4-1, England and even drew with South Africa. Remember that record successive run chase?



Dravid is unfamous because we failed in Worldcup and it was mainly due to Ganguly and Tendulkar again. They played so well against Minnows like Bermuda. But when it mattered like against Srilanka, they failed to deliver.



Even the number of matches won on the total, Dravid stands ahead of Ganguly. What matters would be India's standing. Under Dravid, India never went below 5th rank. Under Ganguly, India was continuously in 7th rank if not 8th for 2003, 2004 and part of 2005.



PS: I am impressed with few that actually read my lengthy post. Few, quoting me still said "Saurav" was the best. What answer you have for India standing in 7th and 8th positions continuously during 2003,2004 and 2005?. We lost to Pakistan and SL even in India. Under a 'great' captain, that shouldn't be the expected result right?

Answer 322

Answer 351

Well ODI is a unique form of the game. I still would say that ricky ponting is the best captain in odi's as well as in test cricket as he makes full use of his recources. But if you consider in any other captain say a non-australian I would say Sourav Ganguly.He was the most succesfull Indian captain considering the change in the game from 1983 when we won the world cup and now. The other captains to be named are

1. M.S. Dhoni 2. Anil Kumble 3. Kapil Dev 4.Sunil Gavaskar 5. Rahul Dravid 6. Inzamam-ul-Haq 7. Shoaib Malik

8. Hansie Cronjie 9. Prosper Utseya 10. Steve Waugh 11. Imran Khan 12.Javed Miandad 13. Grahm Smith

If you say Sourav Ganguly is the best ODI captain, then you haven't analyzed properly. People are confused with aggression to arrogance. Saurav displayed his arrogance by taking off his shirt, shouting at others, giving bold statements against others and showing up late during the toss etc., that's pure lack of professionalism than aggression. He was the worst batsman in Indian team for continously for two years until he was booted out. if he was the greatest ODI captain of India, why would India remain in 7th position continuously for two years?.

Under Dravid, India never went below 5th rank. Under Ganguly, India was continuously in 7th rank if not 8th for 2003, 2004 and part of 2005. Ricky Ponting bats well . He sets a very good field which makes the opposite team hard to score and the batting order set by him is brilliant and he uses and saves his bowlers for the vital minute.
