What did Elgar say on his century?
Playing his last international series, Dean Elgar scored a brilliant 185 runs. He termed it a special innings and talked about his partnership with Tony DiGeorge (28) and Marco Jansson (84). Elgar, who was chosen Player of the Match, said that it was a very special innings. Sometimes what we want to do doesn’t go as planned but glad it worked out today. I think you need to keep things nice and simple, the game is already complex enough.
Said this about Team India
He said that there was a good partnership with Tony and then Yanson also showed his talent. You need fast bowlers and spinners to take 20 wickets, that’s how we win Test matches. South Africa’s fast bowling trio of Andre Berger (four wickets for 33 runs), Kagiso Rabada (two wickets for 32 runs) and Yanson (three wickets for 36 runs) bowled out India for 131 runs in 34.1 overs in the second innings. . Elgar further said that Rabada was brilliant but then Nandre showed why he is so important for South African cricket. If you don’t win the first Test, you can’t win a two-Test series, it’s difficult to beat the Indians.
victory is important
To make up for the loss in this match and draw this series, the Indian team will have to win the next match at any cost. The second match of the series will be played on New Year from 03 January 2024. Fans will have expectations from captain Rohit Sharma in this match.
