Dean Elgar once again torments India as he showcases a spectacular century in the ongoing Test series. In his farewell series, Elgar, with nothing to lose, shifted gears post-Lunch on Day 2, elegantly reaching his fifty and strategically timing shots for a plethora of boundaries to secure a three-digit score. Having previously single-handedly secured South Africa’s victory in a Test series against India, Elgar repeats the feat in the current series.
Unleashing an onslaught on the Indian bowlers, he swiftly reached the three-digit mark in just 140 balls, adorned with 19 fours. Despite the commendable performance of Bumrah and Siraj, Elgar targeted Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur to amass his runs. Partnering with Tony de Zorzi, Elgar persisted in his aggressive approach while Zorzi adeptly absorbed the mounting pressure.
India finds themselves in a precarious situation as the pitch, initially favoring South African pacers on Day 1, continued to improve. Now, with South Africa at bat, Indian bowlers struggle to secure wickets. The primary beneficiary of this scenario is the home team, particularly Dean Elgar, who secures his second Test century against India. Elgar, in his final Test series, plays with finesse, unburdened by pressure.

However, he also shoulders the responsibility of stand-in skipper with Temba Bavuma sidelined due to injury. With no constraints and in sublime form, Elgar is eager to sustain his momentum and score runs swiftly. The hosts aim to amass a formidable score, intensifying the pressure on India, who will face another batting stint. In the initial innings, India managed to score 245 runs, buoyed by KL Rahul’s splendid century.
