Asia Cup 2023: Ranking top 6 Captains

The Asia Cup 2023 tournament saw the Indian team coming out victorious after demolishing Sri Lanka in the final by 10 wickets. It was an absolute annihilation by Rohit Sharma and co. in Colombo, as Sri Lanka got folded for a paltry 50 runs. India chased the total in 6.1 overs to become 8-time champions.

The Asia Cup 2023 was a precursor for the ICC World Cup 2023 and the captains of all the teams barring Nepal, had a chance to finetune their units. They did this by trying out different combinations and giving their bench strength some time in the middle as well. Some situations also tested their leadership qualities as well.

Keeping this in mind, all six captains have been ranked as per the success of their teams in Asia Cup 2023. Also, their style of leadership, innovation, and pressure-handling abilities were tested in crunch situations.  

Here are the ranking captains of all 6 teams in Asia Cup 2023:

6. Rohit Paudel (Nepal)

Rohit Paudel captained the Nepal side for the first time and the team made their debut in the Asia Cup 2023. The 20-year-old had a huge task of competing with his team Nepal against two giants of international cricket in Pakistan and Nepal. And he managed to give Nepal some good moments. 

Paudel showed some control in the first half of the Group game against Pakistan in Multan. This was until Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed switched gears in the final few overs. Against India, Nepal's batters did well to set a good target. But in a rain-shortened game, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill just went after the Nepal bowlers and Paudel looked clueless.
