Shane Watson Lauds South Africa Skipper Dean Elgar; 'Great Effort For An Opening Batter To Score 5,000 Runs'

By IANS News September 10, 2022 • 15:18 PM View: 1069

Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has lauded South Africa skipper Dean Elgar for being on the cusp of reaching the 5,000-run mark in Test cricket, saying that it is a great effort for an opening batter to score that many runs in the longest format of the game.

Elgar needs 66 runs in the final Test against England at The Oval to get 5,000 runs in Test cricket. Currently in 78 Tests, Elgar has 4,934 runs at an average of 39.15, including 13 centuries and 22 fifties since his debut in the format in 2012.
