Most successful cricket captain of India?

Answer 1

Sourav Ganguly became the most successful captain in the history of Indian Test cricket following victory in the Rawalpindi Test on Friday.

It was Ganguly's 15th Test win as India captain, one more than Mohammad Azharuddin's tally of 14. The remarkable aspect about Ganguly's record is that he needed nine Tests less than Azharuddin to overhaul the record.

Interestingly, Azharuddin won only one Test outside India, while Ganguly won as many as seven, easily the maximum by an India captain. No other Indian captain has won more than three Tests on foreign soil.

Answer 2

In Test cricket, India's most successful captain is former captain, Sourav Ganguly, who - as of January 2006 - has won 21 of his 49 Tests at the helm.
The most successful captain in term's of percentage win rate (for those who have captained more than one match) is Sourav Ganguly. Next in the list comes Kapil Dev, the only Indian captain to have lifted the Cricket World Cup.

Answer 3

The ones who said ganguly are all wrong.take a look at this

NEW DELHI: With the World Cup around the corner and the top eight
teams gunning to lift the most coveted trophy in the West Indies,
there is good news for Indian skipper Rahul Dravid. Statistics show
that the 'Wall' is India's most successful One-day captain among all
those who have captained India in at least 20 matches.

Under Dravid, India have won 32 of the 58 matches that have produced
results during his tenure. That's a success rate of 55%, just a
little higher than the 54% success rate that Sourav Ganguly,
Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev had. This may seem like a fine
point, but the statistics actually understate how much more
successful Dravid has been than his predecessors.

That's because, of the 62 One-day matches in which Dravid has
captained, only two have been played against a traditional minnow —
Zimbabwe in 2005 — while the rest have all been against the top
teams in world cricket.

In contrast, Ganguly had 31 wins against the likes of Bangladesh,
Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia and Netherlands boosting his success rate
and Azhar had the benefit of 20 wins against the whipping boys of
international cricket.

Exclude matches against the minnows and Dravid's success rate drops
to 54%, but Ganguly's goes down to 43% and Azhar's to 49%.

Only Kapil Dev, with a 51% success rate against the better teams,
comes close to matching Dravid's record.

Kapil, in fact, has a better record leading away from home —
excluding minnows — than even Dravid. On foreign soil, Kapil won 49%
of the matches he led in, whereas Dravid has won 10 out of 23
completed matches for a 43% success rate. That put's him in third
place behind Gavaskar, who had a 46% success rate with 11 wins in 24
matches.

Ganguly's record abroad (23%) is the worst among the six captains
who have led India at least in 20 matches each.

Azhar has the best record at home (excluding minnows) with a 65% win
rate, but Dravid is not far behind at 61%. On this list, Ganguly
finishes in fifth spot, ahead of Gavaskar, who could captain India
to only 14 wins in 35 completed matches.
