Dean Elgar is thoroughly enjoying the penultimate match of his international career, savoring each moment and relishing the experience to the fullest.
Elgar notched up his 14th century in an impressive batting performance at Supersport Park in Centurion. His gritty innings, marked by superb strike rotation and a few solid partnerships, proved to be a source of frustration for the Indian bowling lineup on the second day.
On social media, there was widespread appreciation for the efforts of the South African left-hander, who is currently leading the team in the absence of Temba Bavuma. Bavuma had to leave the field due to a hamstring injury sustained while chasing a ball to the boundary. It’s worth noting that Dean Elgar is shouldering the responsibility of vice-captaincy for South Africa in the two-match test series against India.
Dean Elgar displayed an impressive performance, hitting 19 boundaries en route to securing his 14th Test century in a mere 140 deliveries. Notably, he made history by becoming the first South African batsman in the last nine years to achieve a century against India in-home tests. Furthermore, Elgar joined the ranks of Herschelle Gibbs as the second South African batsman to accomplish centuries in all seven test venues across the country.
Here is how social media reacted to Dean Elgar’s ton:
