Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar said that Mahendra Singh Dhoni should "take a break" from Indian cricket captaincy andVirat Kohli will be an ideal replacement as he can bring in the "necessary flair like Tiger Pataudi", says a report in The Times of India.
"It's still early days as far as 2015 World Cup is concerned but I believe that a break in captaincy will do wonders for Dhoni. I am not saying that it has to happen during the middle of a series but may be after the Australia series or later part of 2013. We need to have a look at that," Gavaskar said.
"The break might be a voluntary one or an enforced break. But he needs time to reflect on his game and come back in a better way. I am very impressed in the manner he remains cool and unlike other captain doesn't clap and all but a little break won't be bad. Captaining India is a high privilege but the demands and pressures that come with it are incredible," he added.
"I could be wrong but Virat Kohli might bring the flair of Tiger Pataudiin his captaincy. If he knows that he will be appointed for long term, he has the dynamism, the aggression, panache and class. I like everything about him apart from his mouthing abuses when he reaches a milestone. I don't want him to change anything else as he can bring a lot of dynamism."
