Dhawan's role might be an important in Saturday's Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Kolkata Knight Riders as DC glance to get back to winning techniques after losing their remaining sport against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday.
Ganguly mentioned it was a easy chat and he simply requested the India opener to persist with the basics and now not over experiment.
"It wasn't a struggle in the last few games. He just played differently and will play differently against Kolkata. I had a chat with him after the nets and just asked him to take it like a normal T20 game and play attacking cricket," Ganguly mentioned.
Interestingly, the sentiments in Kolkata might be divided on Saturday as their favorite son is now a part of the Delhi outfit. Asked if such thoughts crossed his mind when he was taking part in for Pune Warriors India, Ganguly did not wish to go back in time.
"That is way too far. My focus is on the job at hand and I am hoping that we go out tomorrow and play good cricket," the former India captain mentioned.
An important factor in Saturday's sport will be the approach the DC boys take on KKR's in-form all-rounder Andre Russell. The West Indian has single-handedly received Kolkata each their video games within the IPL thus far.
While Russell hit a swashbuckling unbeaten 49 off 19 balls within the first sport against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he cracked another match-winning 48 off 17 balls against Kings XI Punjab. But Ganguly has a small caution for the superstar.
"He is definitely in very good form. But cricket is a game of uncertainties and anyone of our bowlers can have a good game against him. So, let's wait and watch," Ganguly mentioned.
