Highest win percentage by a captain in T20Is (full members)

Winning a game in T20I cricket is getting tougher than ever. All teams have started playing an aggressive brand of cricket in the shortest format and every team has the chance to beat any opponent on their day. It has become immensely competitive and winning consistently is not an easy task. Recently, in the T20 World Cup, Afghanistan defeated Australia by 21 runs in the Super Eights while the USA defeated Pakistan in the opening round.

The role of captains has changed significantly as multiple aspects need to be taken care of in modern-day T20I cricket. The analytical aspect has grown tremendously and it’s not been easy for the teams to keep up with the pace of the format. However, certain captains have done that job commendably. Here’s a list of captains from full-member nations with the highest win percentage with a minimum of 30 games played.

3. 78.38 – Sarfaraz Ahmed

Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was terrific during his reign as Pakistan’s white-ball captain. He won the Champions Trophy in 2017 and in T20Is, the keeper-batter led the team in 37 matches, winning 29 of them. He had a win percentage of 78.38, which is brilliant but Pakistan eventually removed him from the position.

2. 80.65 – Rohit Sharma

India won the T20 World Cup 2024 under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. The Men in Blue were also unbeaten in the entire tournament. The Mumbai-born has been fantastic in white-ball cricket, particularly in T20Is, in which, he has a win percentage of 80.65. He led 62 games and India won 50 of them.

1. 80.77 – Asghar Afghan

Asghar Afghan has led the revolution of Afghanistan cricket. He led in 52 T20I matches with them winning 42 of them at a win percentage of 80.77. Afghanistan was growing as a cricketing nation during that phase and Asghar played a major role in them being one of the top sides in world cricket now.
