Mahendra Singh Dhoni has captained India in six T20 World Cups.

Paul Collingwood, one of England's greatest notable all-rounders, made a significant effort for England's sport in all three categories.

He has featured 17 games for England as skipper, winning and losing 8 games each, for a win percentage of 50.

4.    Graeme Smith

Graeme Smith is regarded as one of the finest South African captains of all time, thanks to his aggression and cricketing ability. Whereas the victory of the World Cup may forever be a silly idea, Smith was the greatest accomplished test captain in the game's history. South Africa won 2 test series versus Australia under his guidance in Australia. Between 2007 and 2010, Smith captained South Africa in 3 T20 World Cups. He led the club to 11 victories and five losses in 16 games as captain. With a winning record of 68.75, Smith is by far the most accomplished skipper in the T20 world cup in terms of results.

5.    William Porterfield
