Yet another West Indies and ironically, yet another southpaw finds a place in the chart. His status as a cricketer is pretty high in the West Indies but never really helped the team with his captaincy. However, he gave many wins as a player under quite a few skippers.

West Indies, under Gayle’s leadership, won just 17 out of 53 ODIs and ended up losing 30. It’s not just Gayle though, the West Indies cricket has been struggling to find an able captain to turn the tides of the cricket in the nation.
