IPL 2017: 5 players you may not know were IPL captains

#1 Ross Taylor

Only player in IPL history with 100 % win record

Team captained: Pune Warriors

Matches captained: 1

Of all the players on this list, Ross Taylor is the only one to have won more games than he lost as skipper and in fact, he is the only captain with a 100 percent win percentage in the history of the Indian Premier League.

Pune Warriors won only four games in the 2013 IPL, of them, one came under the stewardship of New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor. After Angelo Mathews lost three of his first four games as skipper after replaced injured Michael Clarke, who himself replaced the retired Sourav Ganguly, Ross Taylor led the side against Chennai Super Kings.

After losses to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians, not many expected Pune to beat the most successful side in the IPL. But that is what happened as Aaron Finch's fifty, Steve Smith's cameo and tight spell from the pacers helped Pune win by 24 runs. But Taylor's poor form meant the captaincy went to Aaron Finch after just one game.

Although that would be Ross Taylor's only game as captain in the IPL and he has been overlooked in recent years, the Kiwi batsman will certainly not mind having the record for being the only captain with 100 percent win rate in IPL history.
