India`s emerging player Yashasvi Jaiswal has admitted that the South Africa series was a challenging one for him. He also mentioned that Indian skipper Rohit Sharma helped him maintain a positive mindset.

In the two-match Test series between India and South Africa, the left-hander was only able to score 50 runs in four innings on bounce friendly wickets like at Supersport Park in Centurion and Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town. The series ended in a 1-1 draw.
