Overseas Test records of India's last 5 full-time captains

#3 Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid was a keen student of the game

Dravid's leadership stint came to an abrupt end after India's early exit from the 2007 World cup in West Indies. Dravid had a decent record as a captain, the highlight of his leadership stint being India's series win in England during the 2007 English tour. He could have achieved a lot more as a captain if he would have continued beyond the 2007 World Cup.

India played 17 Tests outside India under Dravid's leadership. Out of these 17 Tests, India won 5 Tests, which translates into a winning percentage of 29%.

#4 Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly is arguably India's best captain ever

Arguably, the best Indian captain till date, Ganguly was known for the way he turned around the fortunes of Indian cricket after the lows of the match-fixing saga in 1999-2000. He imparted a fearless attitude in Indian cricket which was severely missing in earlier Indian teams. He inculcated an attitude of fighting fire with fire in his team which was amply visible during the 2003-04 tour of Australia.

India played 28 Tests outside India under Ganguly's leadership. Out of these 28 Tests, India won 11 Tests, which translates into a winning percentage of 39%.

#5 Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar was not known for his captaincy skills

Sachin was not known for his captaincy skills. He had an ordinary time as an Indian captain which is evident from the fact that India failed to win even a single Test overseas under his leadership. He was duly replaced by Sourav Ganguly as the Indian captain in the year 2000.

India played 13 Tests outside India under Sachin's leadership. Out of these 13 Tests, India did not even win a single Test match, which translates into a winning percentage of 0%.
