All you need to know about South Africa's T20 captains

Smith led South Africa to 18 wins in 27 matches as captain

#2. Shaun Pollock

Shaun Pollock is the only South African player who did not win a single game as captain

One of the greatest all-rounders of all-time, Shaun Pollock played 12 T20 internationals for South Africa in the final years of his international career, picking up 15 wickets at an average of 20.60 and at an economy rate of 7.62.

Pollock led South Africa in one T20I during West Indies Tour of South Africa in December 2007. In the absence of Graeme Smith, Pollock was made the skipper for the first of two T20 matches against the Windies.

However, South Africa were defeated in a rain-affected game that reduced the match to only 13 overs a side. Pollock gave a disappointing performance as he scored only 2 with the bat and went for 19 runs in two overs. So far, he is the only South African player who did not win a single game as captain.
