IND v SA: South African captain Elgar was glad to see Kohli angry, it was revealed

Cape Town. South Africa captain Dean Elgar broke his silence on the DRS controversy in the series against India. Captain Dean Elgar said the DRS controversy gave him time to hit the target in the third decider against India as the Virat Kohli-led Indian team was distracted.

The decision to give Elgar the leg earlier was reversed by the third referee as Hawkeye’s technique showed the ball going over the stumps. This angered the Indian camp, with Captain Kohli, Vice Captain KL Rahul and veteran R Ashwin jeering South African broadcaster Super Sports into the microphone.

Chasing a target of 212 runs for victory, South Africa had scored 60 runs by one wicket at the time. The Indian team became embroiled in the DRS controversy with the hosts scoring 40 runs in the following eight overs. Elgar said: “He gave us time and we scored fast. He helped to reach the goal.

“It benefited us,” he said. At that time he had forgotten about the game and was emotional. I really enjoyed it. Maybe they were under pressure and the conditions were not in their favor when they are not used to it. We had to stick to the basics with more discipline.

After the 113-run loss at the Boxing Day Test, Elgar had a heated conversation with the team that resulted in a favorable result. “It’s never ideal to lose the first game of a home series. In South Africa, however, it’s become a trend to start slowly. We woke up after losing the first test and played the best we could and won the rest of the games. “.
