I’ll give a go:

Australia: Steve Waugh
South Africa: Graeme Smith
India: Virat Kohli

@iambeena its refreshing to see someone give Virat his due, poor guys gets lot of flack these days. Virat is indeed the GOAT!

Specialist captain Mike Brearley for England deserves a shout. Outstanding leader.

Very brilliant man. He used his intelligence and was an innovator in his time.

 

[qpeedore]

Clive Lloyd for sure.

What is this thread about? GOAT captains or captains who have rarely faced a loss?

If its the latter, then we have only 3 names- Clive Lloyd, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting.

If its to talk about GOAT captains- Sourav Ganguly, Hansie Cronje do come the fore.

I think Viv Richards as captain never suffered a test series loss, not sure.

Anil Kumble & Gautam Gambhir too never suffered a loss under their tenure. (ODI)

Ravi Shastri & Ajinkya Rahane (so far) for Tests too!

Yeah but those guys wouldnt have captained the amount of series Viv stood in for. That being said he had probably the best side of all time.

There are other contenders. But with win percentage there's daylight between Steve Waugh and the rest. That has to stand for something tbh.
