"Probably it is because he plays a lot, ranging all the three forms of cricket. He is a highly competitive guy and handles the pressures in ODIs and T20s really nicely. But the Tests are a different ball game," Waugh said.

Ponting said that tactical and strategic changes will help Dhoni, whose team lost back-to-back away Test series in England and Australia.

Border also echoed the duo's sentiments. "Dhoni is a tough character. Particularly in Tests, he should be more active and should not let the game drift away," said Border.
