Being a captain of the team is not that easy. There is obviously an immense workload on the captain because he needs to keep an eye on the team’s performance all the time.
Besides leading the team from the front, he should also set field placements and rotate the bowlers at the right time for potential breakthroughs. At the same time, he needs to be a good batsman who can carry the team forward by leading the batting attack by example.
Not all the captains have gone on to make a name for themselves with the bat across formats. Now, in this article, we will now take a look at the four captains who scored a hundred in all three formats.

Tillakaratne Dilshan was one of the key players of the Sri Lankan cricket team during the playing days of his cricketing career. The former Sri Lankan cricketer was one of the captains on this list to score a century in all three formats. Dilshan scored 16 centuries in Tests, 22 centuries in ODIs and 1 century in T20Is.
2. Faf du Plessis
