5. Graeme Smith 109 Tests as a skipper:
Graeme Smith held the position of test captain until his retirement in 2014. He is regarded as one of the greatest South African players of all time. A tall, left-handed opening batsman, Smith is regarded as one of the best test match openers and skippers of all time as well.
He led South Africa in 109 Test matches, which is a massive feat in the game of cricket. Mostly, an untouchable record as well.
