India's Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane Saturday said that there is a misconception that only power hitters are successful at the top-order as players have their own methods to keep the scoreboard ticking.
It's been more than a year that Rahane is out of Indian ODI team but he still will like to stick to his own method.
"People always talk about power at the top but it is important to believe in your abilities and your own methods. It's not all about power-hitting, someone has to play an anchoring role and guys around him can play power-hitting shots," the diminutive right-handed batsman told ESPN Cricinfo.
"I always believed in my abilities and it's important to stick to your game. As long as you are focussing your game that's what matters."
"As long as we are enjoying each others success and backing each other we are on the right track. It is important to be positive and fearless as a team."
