5 Captains With Highest Win Percentages in World Cups

#3 Clive Lloyd (88.23%)

Clive Lloyd won consecutive World Cups in 1975 and 1979

The skipper of the most fearful side to have played the game, Lloyd led West Indies to two World Cup triumphs in 1975 and 1979, while finishing as the runner-ups in the third edition in 1983.

The golden period of West Indies cricket saw them thrashing opponents at will, possessing a fearsome pace attack and a merciless batting lineup.

Starting as firm favorites in all three editions, West Indies remained unbeaten in the first World Cup in 1975, beating Australia in the finals by 17 runs. The unbeaten run continued in the second edition too, and this time England were at the receiving end in the finals.

The third edition saw the invincible West Indies lose two games, surprisingly both against underdogs India.

The league stage loss was considered as a fluke by many, but all those doubts were put to rest by Kapil's devils in the finals, as India won their maiden title.

Despite the two losses, West Indies remained the most successful side in the World Cups until the Aussies broke their records in the 2000s.

In 17 matches that Lloyd captained in World Cups, he won 15 and hence with a win percentage of 88.23%, he stands third in the list.
