One of the most dynamic captains of the previous decade, Sourav Ganguly, is known for reforming the Indian team. Under his captaincy, India won the Natwest tri-series in England in 2002. India also made it to the finals of the ICC World Cup in 2003.

It was under his captaincy when India saw the emergence of the youngsters in the playing eleven. Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh – all flourished under Ganguly’s leadership. He took charge of the Indian team in 1999-2000. In the 196 matches that he led the team, they won 97 matches and lost 79 matches.

In the 49 Tests that India played under Ganguly, they won 21 matches – which was a record in itself at that time until broken by Dhoni (27 Test wins). He won 76 matches and lost 66 in the 147 ODIs that he led India. He was succeeded by Rahul Dravid as the captain in 2005.
