Captains who never got out on zero

5. Brijesh Patel (India)

Brijesh was a prolific run-getter at the domestic level, though his journey at the international level was not so long. He played for the Indian cricket team for 5 years and made 972 runs at an average of 29.45 in 21 Test matches.

He scored a century (115) against the mighty West Indies in Port of Spain, where he was involved in a 200+ run partnership with Sunil Gavaskar for the fifth wicket.

In his first-class career, he played with Karnataka and made 11,911 runs at an average of 45.63, including 37 centuries and 55 half-centuries.

Brijesh served as the head of selection committee of the national cricket team before resigning citing personal health issues. He also served as the president of National cricket academy for few years, before he was replaced by Shivlal Yadav (the current director).
