The South African captain said he had always wanted to lead from the front
South Africa captain Dean Elgar played one of the great knocks of his career, steering his side to a seven-wicket win with a blood-and-guts unbeaten 96 here on Thursday.
He said later about taking all those painful blows on the body while batting on a spicy pitch, “Some may call me stupid, others may call me brave. But when I play for my country, I put my body on the line. Nothing else matters.”
Elgar rated this innings among the three of his best knocks. “I don’t play for accolades, I don’t play for personal milestones, I always play for the team,” he said.
