5. Ajay Jadeja
The 45-year old acted as vice-captain under Mohammad Azharuddin during his playing time and was a vital cog for the team. He was a very good batsman and a handy bowler and helped India to victory on many occasions. He was the finisher that India had before MS Dhoni. The player has played an active part in India’s progress and would have definitely made a very good captain had he got a chance.
