Top 10 luckiest captains with the toss in Test history

No other sport can give such an extensive advantage to a side like cricket presents with the spin of a coin. In fact, it is only a simple call of head/tail that has decided the fate of many important matches in the past. Here, we have a look at the 10 captains whose calls turned right more often than not. Note 1: Only captains who have led their side in 25 or more matches are taken into consideration.  Note 2: Toss W/L ratio – Number of tosses won / Number of matches as captain

#10 Mark Taylor

Toss W/L ratio: 0.52

Mark Taylor, arguably the greatest captain to have played the game, was not very lucky with the toss: 26 toss wins in 50 matches. He preferred to bat first on 21 occasions, losing only 6 of them.
