SA vs IND | Twitter in ecstasy as a wave of salutes and bows commend Dean Elgar’s tenacity in Centurion 

After ending Day 2 on an unbeaten 140, the former South Africa captain started from where he left. After a brisk period of respect against morning condition, Elgar caressed his strokes to quickly reach the 150 runs mark. A double ton seemed inevitable halfway through the session before a minute error led to him giving away his wicket to Shardul Thakur in the 95th over. 

The 36-year-old ended up with a faint glove off a back of a length delivery outside the leg stump to wicketkeeper, KL Rahul, in the fifth delivery of the 95th over. The southpaw could have left the negative line delivery but rather went chasing at in a poor fashion. Although Elgar decided to review the decision, a spark was vivid via Ultraedge, resulting in his departure 

A sigh of agony was spotted in Elgar’s face but it was soon masked by a shower of standing ovation that rose to the delight of an auspicious knock from the local boy. Irrespective of the nationality, the spectators stood up in applause as the veteran raised his bat as trudged off the field.
