Ranking Top 10 T20 captains based on the number of trophies won

3. Mashrafe Mortaza – 4

Since the dawn of this century, Bangladesh cricket has come a long way. The country has seen several cricketers make their mark in the international circuit. While some of them faded off after their initial burst, others became the guiding light of the country’s cricket. Mashrafe Mortaza is definitely in the latter category as he made the Bangla Tigers a potent force in the world cricket.

In all these years, Mortaza has been the team’s bowling messiah in white-ball cricket. He has kept several world-class batsmen in check with his fiery spells. And in return, he has accounted for over 300 wickets in ODIs and T20Is combined. Besides, he also led the Tigers in three World Cups.

Interestingly, his captaincy became the only plus point in the second half of his career. Mortaza really came into his own with his leadership skills. He also showcased that in the country’s T20 franchise league. In the Bangladesh Premier League, he won championships one after another.

In fact, he won 4 of them. In the first two years of the league, he helped the Dhaka Gladiators to clinch two consecutive titles. Then when he moved to the Comilla Victorians in the 2015-16 season, the trophy followed him. A similar thing also happened in the 2017-18 season as Mortaza brought the title to the Rangpur Riders alongside him. In just a few years, Mortaza became one of the successful T20 skippers in the game.
