Leadership in the Indian Premier League is often judged by trophies, playoff appearances, and the ability to inspire a team under pressure. While several captains have built remarkable legacies in the tournament, not every stint at the helm has delivered the desired results. Factors such as squad balance, rebuilding phases, injuries, and inconsistent performances can all impact a captain’s record.
As of IPL 2026, a few notable names find themselves on the unwanted side of the numbers, holding the lowest win percentages among captains with a minimum of 20 matches in charge. Here’s a look at three IPL captains with the worst win percentage in league history.
1. Ajinkya Rahane: 32.55%
Ajinkya Rahane now sits at the bottom of this list with the lowest win percentage among IPL captains who have led in at least 20 matches. Known for his calm temperament and composed leadership style, Rahane has captained during challenging phases where results were difficult to come by.
Most of his captaincy opportunities came with the Rajasthan Royals and later with the Kolkata Knight Riders. While he remained a dependable performer and respected figure in the dressing room, team results did not consistently go his way, leaving him with a win rate of 32.55%.
