#3 Allan Border
When Allan Border donned the captain's hat from a tearful Kim Hughes, he knew what he was getting himself into. He openly admitted that he had his reservations but was mature enough to accept the responsibilities.
Border went 15 matches without a Test win. But by the time he was finished, he had captained Australia in 93 Tests and 178 ODIs, managing to win 32 Tests and 107 ODIs. He also led Australia to their first ever World Cup triumph, in 1987, as his side beat England by 7 runs in the final despite being behind for the most part.
Border’s captaincy dragged Australia out of the hole they had dug for themselves and transformed them into world-champions.
