On the other hand, Eoin Morgan is a World Cup-winning captain, but he is yet to lead KKR in enough matches. After taking over from Dinesh Karthik last season, under his leadership, KKR have played 7 matches, winning just a couple of them.
For England, Morgan is the most successful captain in T20 internationals. He has won 33 matches out of 59, a win percentage of 58.62 per cent.
