Africa-Press – South-Africa. Dean Elgar will be looking to conclude his international career on another high as he unexpectedly captains South Africa in the second and last Test against India starting at Newlands on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old Elgar announced just days before the first Test in Pretoria he would retire from international cricket after the conclusion of the brief series against the top-ranked Indians.After a man-of-the-match performance in the first Test, where his 185 laid the platform for South Africa’s innings and 32-run victory, he will be hoping to sign off with another win.
Though there were significant contributions from the bowlers, the Proteas’ emphatic victory in Centurion had much to do with Elgar’s dogged determination at the crease.
It helped ensure the hosts cannot lose the brief series to India, who had targeted this trip, dubbed the ‘final frontier, to win a series in South Africa for the first time.
