Not Virat Kohli Or Rohit Sharma! This Batter Is Most Successful Captain In Asia Cup History
1/5 Moin Khan captained Pakistan during their victorious 2000 Asia Cup campaign. In that edition, he led the team in six matches and won every single one, maintaining an unmatched 100% win record. His flawless leadership run stands out as one of the most dominant in the tournament's history. 2/5 Arjuna Ranatunga famously led Sri Lanka to their Asia Cup triumph in 1997. Over the course of his captaincy in the tournament, he guided the team in 13 matches, securing nine victories and suffering four losses. This record translates to a win rate of around 69% for the Sri Lankan legend. 3/5 Mohammed Azharuddin steered India to Asia Cup titles in the 1990–91 and 1995 editions. As captain, he oversaw seven matches, winning five and losing two. His leadership in the competition resulted in a commendable win percentage of approximately 71%, underlining his successful tenure in the tournament. Rohit Sharma captained India to Asia Cup glory in 2018 and again in 2023. Out of the 11 matches he has led, India emerged victorious in nine, losing only twice. This remarkable run gives Rohit an impressive win rate of roughly 82% in the prestigious continental tournament. 5/5 MS Dhoni is the only skipper to clinch two Asia Cup crowns — the 2010 ODI edition and the 2016 T20I version. Across 14 matches under his leadership, India secured nine victories, endured four defeats, and had one no result, giving him an overall winning percentage of 64%.

'I want to send a loud and clear message to all those forces spreading false propaganda against Pakistan in India. Pakistan never attacks the unarmed. India has always blamed Pakistan for its false flag operations. When it comes to national integrity, the nation of Pakistan always stands with its army,' the former Pakistan captain said in a video that has gone viral on social media. 'And under the leadership of General Asim Munir, we are all one and are in a position to give a strong response. So it's a request to you all to not indulge in stupidity because we in Pakistan tend to become united when it comes to matters such as these. So it's better to avoid things that could lead to the loss of lives,' added Khan, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs between 1990 and 2004. Afridi had made a similar comment recently, describing the Indian Army as 'useless' while demanding proof of Pakistan's involvement in the terror attack despite the nation's long history of being a safe haven for terror groups.
