T20 World Cup:

Leadership has many essential qualities for one to be successful. The element of luck or being there at the right time and in the right place, one feels, prevails over everything. In cricket, it is even more prominent, as the game has so many uncertainties attached to it.

The two national captains who are looked upon as good leaders at present are Pat Cummins and Rohit Sharma. Both of them have been put onto that pedestal because of victories in the 3 cricket formats of the World Cup.
