Legendary Australian captain Steve Waugh rates Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a fantastic leader but feels the Indian skipper's "honeymoon period" is over and he is in dire need of a break."It seems Dhoni's honeymoon period is over. He should take some days' break now," Waugh said today.
Dhoni, who led India to unprecedented glory in a short span of around two years, failed to impress in the Twenty20 World Cup in England as the team was ousted after failing to win a single Super Eight match.
Asked who was a better captain -- Sourav Ganguly or Dhoni, Waugh though tried to evade the question but ended up saying "Dhoni is a fantastic captain".
Waugh, however, felt much should not be read in the early exit of two top teams like India and Australia in the T20 World Cup.
"Twenty20 has got many more surprises due. You've got to be sharp and alert on that day. Anyone can lose in this format," he said at a press conference to launch the India chapter of the Steve Waugh Foundation Global.
Waugh, regarded as one of the most successful captains in cricket history, admitted that Australia's aura of invincibility was over but felt it was a good sign for the game.
