This list includes all [[Indian cricket team|Indian]] captains of Men's cricket, Women's cricket and Youth cricket. [[Indian cricket team|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 Test nation after [[English cricket team|England]], [[Australian cricket team|Australia]], [[South African cricket team|South Africa]], the [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] and [[New Zealand cricket team|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]]/[[1948|8]] 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 in [[1999]]/[[2000]] when they won the Under-19 World Cup under the captaincy of [[Mohammad Kaif]]. Also, under the captaincy of [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]], India won the inaugral ICC T20 World Cup. India's most successful captain in Test cricket is [[Sourav Ganguly]], who has won 21 of his 49 Tests at the helm. [[Mithali Raj]] led India to its best result in Women's ODI cricket when the team advanced to the finals of the 2005 Women's Cricket World Cup. Raj is also one of the three women's captains who have led their side to a victory in women's Test cricket, the others being [[Shantha Rangaswamy]] and [[Mamatha Maben]]. __TOC__ <small>Where a player has a dagger (†) next to a Test match series in which he captained at least one Test, it denotes that the player deputised for the appointed captain or was appointed for a minor proportion in a series.</small> ==Men's cricket== ===Test match captains=== '''[[Indian cricket team|India]]''' has played 418 [[Test Cricket|Test Matches]] (as of [[April 13]] [[2008]]).
