MS Dhoni, the former Indian captain, tops the captaincy chart in the Border Gavaskar Trophies with 13 matches and 8 wins as a captain.

Even the captains like Virat Kohli and Waugh, who were utterly dominant over their opponents during their captaincy stint, found it challenging in BGT.

Here is the list of the captains, who have played 8 or more BGT Test matches as captain and their records!
