List of India national cricket captains

This is a list of all cricketers who have captained Indian national cricket team at the international level. The list includes all Indian captains of men's, women's and youth cricket. India became a full member of the Imperial Cricket Conference (now the International Cricket Council) on 31 May 1926. On 25 June 1932 it became the sixth Test nation after England, Australia, South Africa, the West Indies and New Zealand when they took on England at Lord's. They played only seven tests, which were all against England, before the Second World War, losing five matches and drawing twice. Their first game against other opposition came in 1947–49 when they played Australia.

The Indian team's greatest successes came in 1983, when they won the Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, and 2011, when they won the world cup again under Mahendra Singh Dhoni. India came runner-up in World Cup 2003 under Sourav Ganguly who has the record of most number of Indian test wins (11) under his leadership in overseas. Also,

Test match captains

This is a list of cricketers who have captained the Indian Under-19 cricket team for at least one under-19 Test match.

The table of results is complete as of August 2014.
* mark has been added after the names of players who went on to represent India in at least one men's international match (Test match or ODI match).
