While crossing these runs, Laura Walvert fought alone by scoring a half-century for South Africa.

Along with that, she was also the captain of the Australian team that won the gold medal in the 2022 Commonwealth Games. However, this tournament was not organized by ICC.

When it comes to men’s cricket, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has been successful in winning four ICC trophies as a captain. Under his leadership, Australia won the 2003 and 2007 ODI World Cups. So, he was also the captain of Australia during the 2006 and 2009 Champions Trophy. Former India captain MS Dhoni is at the third position in this list. Dhoni led India to the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
