Asia Cup 2023: 5 Most unsuccessful Indian captains against Pakistan in ODIs

2. Sachin Tendulkar

To everyone's surprise, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has placed himself in the second position. He got the Indian captaincy post-1996 Cricket World Cup. It was inevitable after what happened to India's World Cup campaign and with the rise of Sachin the batter. 

In his 5-year long captaincy stint, he faced Pakistan 19 times in this format. Out of those encounters, he ended the matches as losing captain 11 times. He scored 236 runs in those innings; way below his standard. It was seen on his body language that captaincy pressure has affected his game.

He crossed the fifty-run mark twice in those matches, registering 93, his highest score at Hobart. Back then, India's batting performance used to revolve around Sachin. His poor run with the bat had an immediate effect on the result. Post his captaincy period, he again got back to his old groove to dominate Pakistan bowling.
