#4 Sourav Ganguly (India)
The former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly captained India in plenty of one-day internationals. Ganguly helped the team to gain momentum in world cricket during the 2000s. The flamboyant batsman sacrificed his opening position for Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag.
In 143 innings as captain, Ganguly scored 5104 runs which included 30 half-centuries and 11 centuries. The turning point of his career came when he sacrificed the opening position and settled in the middle order.
The all-rounder failed to impress in the middle order but his aggressive leadership and bowling exploits kept him going.
