6 Left Handers who have dominated the game of cricket

#5 Graeme Smith

Graeme Smith is the most successful captain in the history of Test cricket

The most successful captain in the history of Test cricket is a left-hander. Graeme Smith, led South Africa in 108 Tests, winning 53 of them with a win ratio of 48. 62. Even in ODIs, Smith tasted success winning 92 of 149 matches in which he led his team.

Even with the bat, Smith has an impressive record. In 205 Test innings, Smith scored 9265 runs at an average of 48.25. In ODIs, he scored 6989 runs in 194 innings at an average of almost 38.

Smith is the only captain in the history of the game to lead his team in more than 100 Tests.

As it was rightly said by Mr Ali Bacher more than a decade ago-"This is a guy who you know will climb Everest for South Africa.”

And Smith has certainly scaled the Everest and will be remembered as one of the most successful and respected Test captains in the history of Test cricket.
