SA vs IND: Learning From The Loss In First Test Prepares Us For The Victory, Says Dean Elgar
South Africa captain Dean Elgar pointed out that the build-up period to the second Test at the Wanderers in Johannesburg was a turning point for his team in the series against India. After losing the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion by 113 runs, South Africa were also rocked by the abrupt retirement of Quinton de Kock from the format.
In Johannesburg for the second Test, Elgar had made a rock-solid, unbeaten 96 in a record-breaking chase of 240 to square the series. South Africa were also helped by Kagiso Rabada's three-wicket burst which didn't allow India to post a big total in second innings. Also, on day one, South Africa had bowled out India for 202 after losing the toss.
