In cricket, a captain is a player who leads the team and has additional roles and responsibilities.[2][3] The Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) was an international professional Twenty20 (T20) cricket league which featured the best performing teams from the domestic T20 cricket leagues of major cricketing nations, such as the Indian Premier League and Australia's Big Bash League.[4] The league was discontinued due to a lack of interest among the fans and the sponsors.[5] In the six editions that were played from 2009 to 2014,[5] 63 players captained their team in at least one match.[6]
The Highveld Lions[D] played the highest number of matches while being under the captaincy of a single player; Alviro Petersen led the team in all of the 14 matches it played in the CLT20.[6] Four players captained the Mumbai Indians and the Cape Cobras in the CLT20, which is the highest among all teams.[6]
