"Dean Elgar's Quest for a Memorable Exit: No Point to Prove, Just Going Out with a Bang"

Although the sluggish left-hander's display of batsmanship on Wednesday was utterly out of character, he is more interested in sending off international cricket with a bang than in proving anything to anybody. Elgar, playing in his penultimate Test match, believed it was all about enjoying a day that was his own. His unbeaten 140, studded with 23 boundaries, had put South Africa versus India in a dominating position on the second day of play.

I didn't think I was trying to make a point. Regarding his fourteenth century, Elgar remarked, "I just wanted to go out with a bang because that is the standard I set for myself as there's no looking back now."Dean Elgar, cricket, memorable exit, no point to prove, going out with a bang, cricket career, South African cricketer, sports news, retirement plans.
