Meanwhile, Richard Elgar revealed that his son told him that India “would have to break something” in his body to dismiss him on Day 4.

“Dad! I will be there till the end of the game tomorrow. If they want to get me out, they would have to break something in my body to drag me out of there. They are not going to get me by hitting me on the body. No way in hell.’ When I heard him say that, I knew he was charged up and felt he would do it,” said Richard Elgar as quoted by The Indian Express.

Richard Elgar further stated that when the target dipped under 100 runs he had told his wife that the Indian bowlers will not be able to dismiss the Proteas skipper as he ” was in the zone”.

“In the morning, when the target dipped under 100, I said to my wife, ‘you know what, they are not going to get him out today.’ I could see that he was in the zone – so focused, so intense in his bubble, that he didn’t even know what was going on around him. I could see it. She said ‘but 100 runs are there’, and I went, ‘doesn’t matter. Dean and others are going to do it,” concluded Richard Elgar.
