Rohit, who played his first international match yesterday after an injury lay-off, had struggled against pace bowling in South Africa, but felt that a couple of failures can't stop his progress.

"You have to accept the failure and success and keep moving on. That's what I've done. A couple of overseas failures will not stop my cricket.

"My cricket and my hard work will still remain on track. I'll keep working as hard as ever," said Rohit, , who started his record-breaking innings slowly as he conceded a maiden to Angelo Mathews before stepping on the gas.
