It will be quite absurd for many to see Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s name in the list. But while Dhoni enjoyed unprecedented success as Test captain, the same cannot be said about his batting.

Compared to his exploits in limited-overs cricket especially ODIs, Dhoni’s Test record leaves a lot to be desired.

While his average in ODIs is over 51, he averaged a modest 38.09 in Tests. In 318 ODIs so far, he has amassed 9,967 runs.

On the other hand, he scored 4,876 runs in 144 Test innings with the help of six hundreds.
