5 Captains with highest winning percentage across all formats in 2024

The year 2024 witnessed a lot of memorable events in the game of cricket. In the international circuit, the T20 World Cup was the biggest event which saw some exhilarating action. This was also the biggest of its kind as 20 teams participated in the main round for the first time. Afghanistan turned heads with some excellent performances during the marquee event and made it to the semi-finals of a World Cup for the first time.

Test cricket also continued with the World Test Championship (WTC 2025) reaching the business end. Under Temba Bavuma's astute leadership, South Africa made it to the finals for the first time. Meanwhile, ODI cricket took a backseat as there were not many 50-over matches played in the year.

During the year, there were a lot of captains who made a mark with their sharp cricketing brains and the ability to keep their composure in crunch situations. CricTracker has listed five captains of full-member nations with the best winning percentage across all formats in 2024 (minimum of 15 matches).
