#2 Sourav Ganguly

The team was in prime form going into the 2003 World Cup and they finished second in the group stage behind Australia. In the Super Six stage, India was undefeated as they registered easy victories against Kenya, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. In the Semifinal, they once again encountered Kenya and defeated them 91 runs. In the final against Australia, Ganguly won the toss and contrary to popular opinion he chose to bowl first on a flat track. The decision backfired and Australia decimated India by 125 runs to clinch their 3rd title.
