Sarfaraz Ahmed will be remembered as one of the three Pakistani captains to win an ICC tournament. After Imran Khan-led Pakistan won the World Cup in 1992, Younis Khan captained the side to the T20 World Cup 2009 title. Thereafter, it was Sarfaraz under whose captaincy, Pakistan won the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, in England.

Having made his debut for Pakistan in 2010, Sarfaraz was named the vice-captain of the team in 2015. After the T20 World Cup 2016, was made the T20I captain and shortly after, he took over as ODI captain as well. He led the team well as Pakistan won 11 consecutive T20 series under his captaincy against teams like West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, England and Zimbabwe, respectively.

Pakistan also white-washed the opponent in a bilateral series on 5 occasions under his captaincy. Sarfaraz captained Pakistan in 50 ODIs, winning 28 of them. He won 29 out of 37 T20Is he captained Pakistan in. He captained the team in 13 Tests as well, winning 4 and losing 8.
