A few months before the ODI Cricket World Cup in 2015, Eoin Morgan was appointed the captain of England. But his first high-profile assignment ended in ignominy as the team exited the tournament at the league stage, with a defeat against minnows Bangladesh rubbing salt in the wound. Four years on, in the most dramatic of turnarounds and circumstances, Morgan led his men to England’s first-ever World Cup victory via a Super Over in the final against New Zealand.
