From CK Nayudu to Rohit Sharma: The Evolution of Indian Captains

From the early days of CK Nayudu and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, who laid the groundwork, to the leadership of Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, Indian cricket evolved from a struggling team to a rising force. Captains like Gavaskar brought stability and consistency, while Kapil Dev’s inspirational leadership led India to its first World Cup victory in 1983, marking the start of India’s cricketing ascent.

The modern era saw a transformative shift with Sourav Ganguly, who reignited India's fighting spirit, especially on foreign soil. MS Dhoni’s cool-headed leadership and ability to win under pressure delivered multiple ICC trophies, cementing India’s dominance. Virat Kohli, with his intense energy and focus on fitness, took India to the top of the Test rankings, while Rohit Sharma continues to steer India as a formidable team.

This documentary explores the leadership journeys of these captains and how their contributions turned India into a world cricket powerhouse.
