All time captains’ XI in ODI cricket
The cricketing world has produced enough tales of legendary captains for us to relish it for centuries to come.
6. MS Dhoni (WK)
Captain cool is what they call him and he personified calm-and-composed leadership. Sourav Ganguly passed on the torch to MS Dhoni, who turned out to be one of the greatest captains this game has ever seen. From taking some very harsh decisions to developing one of the finest fielding units ever, his contribution to Indian cricket was immaculate.
A tactical mastermind, Dhoni was a difficult person to deal with for the opposition. Some of the famous achievements under his leadership include the World Cup and Champions Trophy wins in 2011 and 2015. India also won their first-ever series in Australia under his leadership, winning the CB series back in 2007/08.
With a win-percentage of 59.52 in 200 games as captain, he ranks second among captains with most wins in this format. He also was ranked the number one batsman in ODIs for a fairly long period of time during his prime days and amassed 10,773 runs in 350 ODIs at an average in excess of 50.
