List of India national cricket captains
This is a list of all cricketers who have captained Indian national cricket team at the international level. The list includes all Indian captains of men's, women's and youth cricket. India became a full member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council) on 31 May 1926. On 25 June 1932 it became the sixth Test nation after England, Australia, South Africa, the West Indies and New Zealand when they took on England at Lord's. They played only seven tests, which were all against England, before the Second World War, losing five matches and drawing twice. Their first game against other opposition came in 1947–48 when they played against Sir Donald Bradman's Invincibles (a name given to the Australia national cricket team of that time).
Men's cricket
Where a player has a dagger (†) next to a Test match series in which he captained at least one Test, it denotes that the player deputised for the appointed captain or was appointed for a minor proportion in a series.
Test match captains
This is the list of the 32 cricketers who have captained the Indian cricket team for at least one Test match. So far Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the most successful Indian test captain with 27 wins. Former captain Sourav Ganguly is the most successful Indian test captain overseas with 11 wins.[1]
