Shane Warne Captaincy Record in Test, ODI, and IPL

Shane Warne was one of the best leg spinners in cricket history. He has several bowling records in cricket, but the most important are the most wickets in all formats and the 10-wicket hauls in test matches

He was a skilled spinner, then? Every cricket fan asks whether he is a good captain. If the answer is yes, then Why wasn’t he selected as the team’s regular captain for Australia? Many of you think that he might not be a good leader that could be the reason behind it. But in reality, he was a good leader and showed his leadership potential in IPL and Big Bash League. He was the first-ever winning captain in IPL 2008 for Rajasthan Royals.

Another factor may be his controversial off-field behavior, which prevented him from being the regular captain of the Australian cricket team. There are a lot of opinions as to why he isn’t the permanent captain of Australia, but one thing is sure and still stands: there will be no Shane Warne in the future.
