#1 Ricky Ponting (22)

This should not really be a surprise. Ricky Ponting is the most successful ODI captain of all-time and Australian team were a force to reckon with during his time as the captain and were by far, the greatest team at that time.
Ponting captained the team in a record 230 games and the team went on to win 165 of those with an incredible win percentage of 76.14. The team put a dagger through the hearts of opposition fans everytime they stepped on the field.
He holds the record for highest runs scored as a skipper. In 220 innings as captain, the Punter scored 8497 runs at a very good average of 42.91. Ponting bludgeoned 22 hundreds as the skipper of the team and is currently the record holder for the most centuries as skipper in ODIs.
