5 captains who succeeded in one format but didn't in another

#3 Brian Lara

The legendary batsman won only 10 of the 47 test matches he captained

One of the greatest batsmen to have ever played the sport, Brian Lara did not have a very successful stint as the West Indies captain with his only success being winning the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy. However, he led the Windies to some brilliant victories in his stints as captain.

Lara was made the regular skipper of the side in 2003 after the retirement of Carl Hooper. Lara’s captaincy records in ODIs have been pretty decent, with 59 wins and as many losses in 125 matches with seven being abandoned.

The legendary batsman was first handed the test captaincy in 1996 and had a good performance in his first two series, winning both of them. However, West Indies’ performances began to deteriorate during the early 2000s. In the 47 test matches that Lara captained, he won 10 of them and lost 26 of them with 11 matches being drawn.

Since he became the regular test skipper during the 2002-03 season, Lara won only four of the 29 tests he captained.
