T20 World Cup-winning captains

T20 cricket has completely changed the concept of the game of cricket. Now we can see its effect on every format. Batsmen are ready to chase any score at any stage of the game. This is the reason why we started getting more results in test cricket as well. Both teams were happy with the early draw. But since the inception of T20 cricket, teams are more likely to bat in the fourth innings.

This is one of his positive effects on cricket. Talking about the rich history, the T20 world event started in 2007 but since then 106 countries around the world have been playing this format. And leadership is always important to any sport. And some captains have the honour of leading their country in the T20 World Cup. So, in this article, we will discuss the list of World Cup-winning captains.

3. MS Dhoni (India) won the 2007 World Cup in South Africa.

After an early exit from the 2007 ODIs in the West Indies, no one really gave the Indian team a chance. Due to this most of the senior players refused to play in this competition and the captaincy was handed over to MS Dhoni. It was one of the best masterstrokes in the history of Indian cricket. Because he completely changed the face of Indian cricket.

MS Dhoni led the team to the T20 World Cup title in 2007 and triumphed in the first season. India won the trophy by dramatically defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in the final. MSD was also the most successful captain in the T20 World Cup. He led India to 33 matches and won 20 of them.

2. Younis Khan (Pakistan) won the 2009 World Cup in England

Pakistan lost to India in their first World Cup final. But as far as the shortest format is concerned, his team has been very good. He showed this in the 2009 World Cup held in England. Pakistan won the next ICC event under the leadership of Younis Khan. They won the trophy by defeating Sri Lanka in the final.

It was Pakistan's first World Cup win since 1992. In total, Younis led Pakistan in 7 matches this year and won five of them. Shahid Afridi was declared 'Man of the Match' for his performance of 54* and 1/20. Umar Gul was the highest bowler to end the tournament with 13 wickets.

1. Darren Sammy (West Indies) in 2012 and 2016 World Cup

When it comes to the most successful captains in T20 World Cup history, Darren Sammy is at the top. The former captain led West Indies to World Cup victory in 2012 and 2016. He is also the only captain to lead his team to two T20 World Cup titles. In total, he captained the West Indies in 18 matches and won 11 matches.
