Chennai: Saurav Ganguly has been regarded as the best captain of the present Indian team by Australian Test skipper Steve Waugh.
"Ganguly has proved to be a best captain and able at that. He has now acquired great leadership qualities," Waugh, who is here as MRF Brand Ambassador, told reporters on Friday. "Ganguly led well in winning the Test series two-one against us last year and I admired his leadership qualities. He has developed toughness in character and that is what is needed for Indian cricket." Waugh felt, "A nation needs such tough characters and leadership in a captain and normally he is not changed." Asked about certain Australian newspaper reports on Ganguly when Australia toured India last year, Waugh said, "I cannot recall newspaper reports but we moved along very well." He had a word of praise for Kolkata's Eden Gardens too. "It is the largest cricket stadium in the sub-continent and over 85,000 people thronging it on five days in a row is amazing."
