List of India national cricket captains

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

India became a full member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council) on 31 May 1926. On 25 June 1932 it became the sixth Test nation after England, Australia, South Africa, West Indies and New Zealand. The Indian team was first led by C. K. Nayudu against England at the Lord's. They played only seven tests, which were all against England, before the Second World War, losing five matches & drawing twice. Their first game against other opposition came in 1947–48 when Indians led by Lala Amarnath played against Sir Donald Bradman's Australia.

Santha Rangaswamy led the women's team in their first test match in 1976 against West Indies at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Diana Edulji was the first Women's One Day International captain in 1978 against England at Eden Gardens. Mithali Raj became the first WT20I captain in 2006 against England at Derby.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth became the first Test captain for the U-19 team in 1978–79 against Pakistan, while Ravi Shastri was the first One Day International captain for the U-19 team in 1981.

Test match captains[]

This is a list of cricketers who have captained the Indian cricket team for at least one Test match. Where a player has a dagger (†) next to a Test match series in which he captained at least one Test, that denotes that player deputized for the appointed captain or was appointed by the home authority for a minor proportion in a series. The dagger classification follows that adopted by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

A total of 34 players have captained India in test matches, of which Virat Kohli is the most successful with 40 wins.

The table of results is complete up to the third Test against South Africa in January 2022.
