#1 Ricky Ponting (230 Matches)
Ricky Ponting is probably the best captain that world cricket has ever seen and the numbers back him up. Under Ponting, Australia dominated every opponent that was put in front of them and they were considered as the invincibles for the better part of his tenure.
Trending
His numbers as captain are simply stunning and by far the best compared with any other player. Australia had won 165 matches out of the 230 matches that he has captained in ODIs with a win percentage of 76.14.
A captain is considered a great one if they can win at least a World Cup or Champions Trophy but Ponting has two won back-to-back World Cups and Champions Trophy as skipper.
