India played their first-ever ODI back on 13th July, 1974 against England and have today become one of the top teams in 50-over cricket. The Men in Blue have played 1087 ODIs so far and won 579 matches, the second most in the format’s history.
Apart from that, they also have the joint second-most ODI World Cup trophies to their name (two) and the most Champions Trophy titles as well (three). There have been several Indian captains who’ve taken the team to great heights in its rich history.
While Kapil Dev guided the team to its first-ever World Cup trophy in 1983, MS Dhoni ended the 28-year wait for the second triumph in 2011. Later, Rohit Sharma also added his name to the history books, with a Champions Trophy triumph in 2025. As India continues their golden run in ODIs, here’s a list of all of their captains in history along with their record:
