Rohit, who scored a half-century, had forged an 84-run stand with Jaiswal for the first wicket. Rohit said that it has been a hard-fought series so far, and particularly picked out the youngsters’ impressive performances. “It’s been a very hard-fought series, so to come on the right side of it feels very good. A lot of challenges thrown at us but we responded and were quite composed. These (youngsters) guys want to be here, growing up in the domestic circuit, local club-cricket, and coming here,” Rohit had said at the post-match presentation.
