The Bangladeshi skipper had a terrible time in the tournament. Even though the team performed well in the group stages, Najmul Hossain Shanto failed to deliver with the bat. In the Super Eights, Shanto came up with a couple of good knocks but could not take the team to victory. Besides, Shantos's strategies and decisions looked confusing, making him the weakest captain from the Super Eight stages.

6. Mitchell Marsh (AUS)

The world of cricket was expecting a cricketing treble from Australia. But Mitchell Marsh failed to deliver as a captain, and Australia had to bow out of the Super Eights. From their shock defeat to Afghanistan to their poor display against India, there are plenty of instances where one can point the finger at Marsh and hold him responsible.

5. Rovman Powell (WI)

A lot depended on his performances, but he failed to deliver, and as a result, West Indies had a premature exit from the tournament.
