Top 3 ODI Captains of the Decade

#1 Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan

After a series of below-par performances, Alastair Cook resigned from his job as the England captain and Eoin Morgan was announced as his successor. His appointment was panned by the critics, largely because of his nationality and his inconsistent record as a middle-order batsman. His position as national captain worsened in 2015 as England were ousted from the World Cup following a humiliating defeat to Bangladesh in the group stage.

Fortunately for Morgan, he had the full backing of the England Cricket Board and he repaid the faith by initiating a major revamp that saw many senior players being shown the door. The new-look English side, full of young talents, started playing a brand of cricket that became the envy of teams around the world. Morgan’s aggressive captaincy and his side’s utter domination with the bat saw them become the number one side in the world.

The critics were silenced when he lifted the 2019 World Cup trophy at Lord’s after a hard-fought (lucky, as per a few) win over New Zealand in the finals.
