#4 Michael Clarke
Michael Clarke was an inspirational leader and the architect of some of Australia’s most famous wins. His batting also improved by leaps and bounds after he took over as captain. In 2012, he became the only player to have scored four Test double hundreds.
He managed 28 Test centuries in total, just one shy of the legendary Sir Don Bradman, with half of them coming while captaining the side.
Clarke took over the captaincy when Australia found themselves in deep despair, having lost the 2010-11 Ashes at home. He was at the helm when they regained the Ashes in 2013/14, with a 5-0 whitewash. He also became the fourth Australian captain to lift a 50-over World Cup trophy as he inspirationally led Australia in the 2015 edition at home.
He has win percentages of 51.06 and 70.42 as captain in Tests and ODIs respectively. Clarke will be remembered as a batsman with class and a captain who took the game on and emerged unscathed with an enviable record in both spheres.
