#4 Paul Collingwood

Collingwood led England’s campaign for the first three editions of the World Cup and managed to claim the title the final time, which was in 2010. It was a dramatic win since they hadn’t won any of their games in the group stages; however, they turned the tables around to win all three in the Super 8. England have won a total of 8 games under his leadership. They were ousted in the group stages in the inaugural World Cup, reached the top 8 in 2009, and were finally crowned champions in 2010 when they beat Australia by 7 wickets in the final at the Oval. Collingwood was at the crease to see them home. 2012 saw Stuart Broad take over the reins of the T20 side, and he continues to be their captain as they enter the 2014 World Cup tournament.
