2. MS Dhoni (2008-2014)
Indian cricket accomplished new heights and its pinnacle of success while MS Dhoni was in charge. Dhoni’s calm and collected on-field attitude concealed a burning desire to win. Dhoni led India to 27 victories, 18 losses, and an astounding 15 draws all through his 60-match captaincy record in Test cricket, for a winning percentage of 45.
Dhoni’s leadership stood out by his capacity to remain composed under pressure. One of the greatest cricketing captains of all time, his smart judgement, especially in limited-overs cricket, earned him this honour. His most significant achievement was guiding India to a first-ever ICC Cricket World Cup victory in 2011, which cemented his place as an Indian cricket legend for all time and also as one of the most successful Test captains of India, while his records as One-Day International (ODI) skipper in terms of laurels can’t be beaten any time soon.
