Dean Elgar on match-winning knock vs India: If I am willing to put my body on the line so should everyone else

After guiding South Africa to a seven-wicket win over India in the second Test, captain Dean Elgar said that he is willing to put his body on the line for his country.

South African captain Dean Elgar, after leading his team to a historic Test win over India, said that he is willing to put his body on the line for his country and expects his teammates to do the same as well. Elgar took a lot of body blows and one Jasprit Bumrah beamer hit his helmet grille on Wednesday, but he remained calm and composed.

Elgar scored an unbeaten 96 runs, weathering a storm of hostile Indian bowling, to guide his side to a seven-wicket win at the Wanderers and square the series. The 34-year-old opener finished the match unbeaten on 96 off 188 balls, an innings spanning five hours and nine minutes, as they chased down 240 to level the three-match series.
