International Captain
Of the 11 players in the final XI, the following six have lead their team in World Cup. Their records against the big teams are given below. Minnows, including Bangladesh, are excluded
*RT Ponting 2003-2007 15 15 0 0 0 - 53.41 5.82 377 -
*Imran Khan 1983-1992 22 14 8 0 0 1.75 33.49 4.46 338 173
*N Kapil Dev 1983-1987 15 11 4 0 0 2.75 31.93 4.62 289 158
*Wasim Akram 1996-1999 11 7 4 0 0 1.75 34.54 4.89 281 132
*SR Waugh 1999-1999 8 5 2 1 0 2.50 36.57 4.98 303 213
*IVA Richards 1987-1987 6 3 3 0 0 1.00 33.65 5.20 360 216
Of these six, Ponting (twice), Imran, Kapil and Waugh have won the tournament.
Three more players - sachin, gilchrist and warne - have led their countries in one dayers but not in World Cup games. Knowing some members might want to go for an unorthodox choice I am having them in the poll as well.
