NEWS Tri-Nation Tournament in Sri Lanka>Performance will be my priority: Ganguly 02nd Aug 2005 11.01 IST By Agencies Ex-skipper Sourav Ganguly on Monday sought to allay any apprehensions of a power struggle in the team, saying he would have no problems in playing under Rahul Dravid and his only concern was to perform for the team. Ganguly, who arrived in Dambulla on Monday, said he had played under different captains earlier also and it would be no different now.
The elegant left-hander said his immediate priority was to do well with the bat. "I have been selected in the team to perform, as was the case when I was picked for the first time. You have to perform at this level. "As I can see if we bat well in the competition we have a good chance of winning it. "I have been in touch with the game and it would be good to score runs and help India win the trophy," said Ganguly, sporting an orange T-shirt and sneakers, and finding himself completely mobbed by the waiting media. Ganguly said he had formed an idea of how to play on Dambulla wicket after watching the game on television and talking to the boys on arrival. "It is a kind of wicket where you have to grind for your run. You don't get easy runs here. I am not too sure about the pace, perhaps it is two-paced. It looks like one has to fight for the runs in this competition."
