Top 10 Captains with most man of the match awards in ODIs

9. Sourav Ganguly (India) – 12:

Sourav Ganguly, or as his fans fondly call him “Dada”, is regarded as the architect of modern day Indian cricket team. It was under his captaincy that players like Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh and Virendra Sehwag rose to prominence. All of these players went on to win the 2011 World Cup for India. Ganguly’s batting was just like his captaincy, aggressive. He was impeccable through the off side and was rightly called the God of the off side. It was shambolic that he had to give up his captaincy under Greg Chappell and was even out of the team for a while. But like the champion he was, Dada made a comeback and then retired on his own terms in 2008.
