He is that type of captain who can take any decision despite knowing that decision may backfire his team but for winning matches he will take those decisions. He is a cool and composed captain who always shocked his oppositions by his captaincy skills, his captaincy records are very good especially in Test cricket where he captained 40 matches for Australia and won 23 matches and one good thing is he won matches in all conditions. He is also a good captain for Australia in odi cricket and he showed his captaincy skills whenever he got chance as a captain. In recent times he won matches in Asian conditions where SENA countries struggles to win, he was banned from captaincy by cricket Australia in 2018 for 2 years but in 2021 he backed as Australian vice captain in Test cricket and after that he captained many times for Australia team and currently he is doing captaincy for Australia in the champions trophy where Australia is playing without their main players but Australia still qualified for the champions trophy semifinals where they will face Indian team in semifinals.
