Clive Lloyd: West Indies' most successful captain, Clive Lloyd, led the team in 74 matches, of which the team won 36 and lost 12. 26 Tests ended in draws.

Zaheer, who scored 5062 runs (12 centuries, highest 274) in 78 Test matches at an average of 44.79, had amazing rhythm in his batting and watching him score runs was a pleasant experience for the fans. In the Melbourne Test against Australia in December 1972, he was run out and lost wickets in both the innings. During this, he looked in good form in both the innings, scoring 51 runs in the first innings and 25 runs in the second innings.
Three Indian batsmen who scored 6 centuries in all three formats and completed the century, one did this feat in just three months.
Alan Border: The credit for re-establishing the Australian team in world cricket goes to Allan Border after the retirement of legendary players like Greg Chappell, Lillee, Morsh and Thomson. Border, who led the Australian team to victory in 32 out of 93 Test matches under his captaincy, was also an attractive left-handed batsman. He scored 11 thousand 174 runs in 156 tests, which included 27 centuries. In the Melbourne Test against Pakistan in December 1981, Border was run out for 7 runs in the first innings and 1 run out in the second innings.
Mark Taylor: Like Border, Mark Taylor was also an excellent left-handed batsman and also the captain of Australia.

He captained the team in 50 matches, out of which the team won 26. Taylor has been run out in both innings of the two Tests. In February 1989, in the Adelaide Test against the West Indies, he was run out after scoring 3 runs in the first innings and 36 runs in the second innings. About two years later, in the Test against England in Adelaide, Taylor again returned to the pavilion after being run out in both the innings.
