List of Women's Premier League (cricket) captains
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cricket, a captain is a player who leads the team and has additional roles and responsibilities.[1][2] The Women's Premier League (WPL) is a professional league for women's Twenty20 cricket in India,[3][4] which has been held annually since its first edition in 2023.[5][6] In the two seasons played, seven players have captained their team in at least one match.[7]

Mumbai Indians' Harmanpreet Kaur and Royal Challengers Bangalore's Smriti Mandhana have won one title each as a captain making them the joint most successful captains in WPL history. Delhi Capitals' Meg Lanning and Mandhana have tied for captaining most matches (18) while Lanning and Kaur have tied for most wins as a captain (12). Kaur leads with the highest win percentage as a captain (70.58% ā 12 wins out 17 games captained).[7]
The list includes those players who have captained their team in at least one WPL match. The list is initially organised by the number of matches as a captain and if the numbers are tied, the list is sorted by the win percentage as captain.[lower-alpha 1]
