5 Indian Test Captains with the highest win percentage

#2 MS Dhoni (45.00%)

MS Dhoni

MS Dhoni played his debut match against Sri Lanka as the 251st Test player of his nation. Right from the beginning, he gave first preference to his nation and then to his personal records; a quality which contributed to his rise as one of the most successful captains of the Indian team.

The Ranchi boy also took his level of wicket keeping to a whole new level. Donning the gloves, Dhoni took 256 spectacular catches and accounted for 38 mind-blowing stumpings in his entire Test career. His exceptional batting skills helped him score 4876 runs in his 90 matches with a top score of 224 runs.

Introducing Dhoni as a captain was the main turning point for the Indian team. He made his Test captaincy debut against Australia replacing the injured Anil Kumble in the year 2008. Out of the 60 matches he captained the Indian team, 27 matches resulted in victory.
