IND V SA: Rohit Praises Elgar But Aims To Ruin His Plans For A Perfect Farewell In 2nd Test
World Test Championship: India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday praised his South Africa counterpart Dean Elgar who will be playing his farewell game in the second and final Test starting here on Wednesday but said his team will do its best to win the match and salvage the two-match.
India had lost the first Test at Centurion by an innings and 32 runs with Elgar scoring a match-defining 185 off 297 deliveries that helped the hosts post 408 in their first innings.
Dean Elgar has been a thorn in the side of India, both as a player and captain in recent years. Elgar led by example the last time India toured South Africa, finishing as the second-highest run-getter in the series with 235 runs, as the Proteas completed a comeback from 1-0 to win 2-1. Most recently, Elgar was the Player of the Match in the first Test with a stunning 185 that blew India out of the game. The visitors succumbed to an innings defeat, extending their wait for a series victory in South Africa.
