Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting’s captaincy record is among the best in cricket history. He led Australia to 48 wins in 77 Tests, a win percentage second only to Steve Waugh. In ODIs, he oversaw 26 consecutive undefeated World Cup matches, stepping down after the 2011 World Cup.

Initially commanding a superstar team, Ponting evolved from manager to tactician after the core players retired. Over his career, he scored 15,440 runs in 324 matches at an average of 45.54, with a total international tally exceeding 25,000 runs.
