8. Steve Waugh:
Waugh is certainly one of the greatest skippers but he also got termed as the selfish by the fans. And also, he was tagged as a selfish player by his compatriot Shane Warne, who wrote in a book that Steve Waugh completely changed after taking the captaincy reigns for Australia.
“He became a completely different person when he took over as captain,” Warne wrote. “It wasn’t that he dropped me. I have no issue about being dropped if I’m not performing; if you don’t perform, out you go. But there was more to it than my performances – I think it was jealousy,” Shane Warne wrote in his book.
However, Steve Waugh has led the team from the front on many occasions. He will always be named on the chart, which gets the headline of Greatest Captains in the game of cricket.
