Suryakumar Yadav becomes world number-1 captain
Suryakumar Yadav has also become the world’s most successful T20I captain with the victory of the final. He is now the captain with the highest winning percentage. Suryakumar Yadav has so far captained India in 52 matches in T20I. Out of these, they have won 42 matches and faced defeat in only 8 matches. At the same time, 2 matches have been without result. That means, under his captaincy, Team India has won 80.77% of the matches, which is the highest compared to other captains in the world.
The special thing is that Suryakumar Yadav has left behind Rohit Sharma, who was the most successful T20I captain before this. Under his captaincy, India won 80.65 percent of the matches. Rohit had achieved 50 wins in 62 matches. At the same time, Team India had lost in 12 matches. Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is at third place in this list.
