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

#1 Mike Gatting

Gatting won only two of the 23 tests he captained

Mike Gatting was one of England’s best batsmen during the 1980s and he was given the national team captaincy in 1986, succeeding David Gower. As captain, Gatting very nearly led England to their first ever World Cup win as he led the team to the final against Australia which they lost by just seven runs with Gatting’s dismissal turning out to be a turning point in the match.

Out of the 37 ODIs he captained, Gatting had a win percentage of 70.27%, winning 26 and losing 11.However, Gatting’s stint as England’s test skipper was not a very good one. He captained in 23 tests from 1986-1988 but had a very poor win percentage of just 8.69%. He won only two test matches, losing five and drawing 18 of them. Both of his test wins as captain came in England’s successful Ashes campaign against Australia in Australia.

He was axed from the captaincy in 1988.
