#1 Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting, who made his debut in 1995, took over as the Australian ODI captain in 2002 and was a part of three successful World Cup campaigns and a 34-match winning streak in which he led in 26 of them. He was one of the most uncompromising players of his generation.
Ponting is one of the most successful captains in cricket history. He led Australia to 48 Test wins (second highest in Test history behind Graeme Smith’s 53) and 165 ODI wins (highest ever in cricket history). He led Australia in a staggering 324 international games, a record before it was broken by MS Dhoni.
He captained the Aussies to successive World Cup triumphs in 2003 and 2007, successive Champions Trophy titles in 2006 and 2009 and an Ashes whitewash in 2006/07. His captaincy was highly rated around the world and Australia became world beaters and during his tenure.
