ICC World Cup 2019: Ranking the captains of all 10 teams

#4 Faf du Plessis - South Africa

2nd Momentum ODI: South Africa v Sri Lanka

Faf du Plessis has an exemplary record as an ODI captain of South Africa. Out of the 30 games in which he led the side, South Africa have won 25 games and lost only five, which gives him a win percentage of 83.33.

In 2019, Du Plessis has won eight and lost just two games. An experienced campaigner and a shrewd captain, Du Plessis has enough quality and depth in the squad to win the first World Cup for his country.

#3 Virat Kohli - India

India v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5

One of the greatest cricketers of all-time, Virat Kohli has a terrific record in ODIs as captain of Team India. 49 wins in 68 games give him a win percentage of 73.88, which is simply exceptional.

Though India lost the ODI series at home against Australia, they created history when they toured Australia earlier. This will be Kohli's first outing as a captain in a World Cup and for a player of his calibre, he will definitely relish the challenge.
