Dean Elgar

South Africa Test captain Dean Elgar believes that his team playing the three-match series against India at home gives them ‘little bit of an upper hand'.

He added that with the team slated to play in a Test match after nearly six months meant that the players have taken time to hit the straps.

South Africa will be up against an Indian team looking for their first-ever series win in the Rainbow nation.

"I think it's pretty even-stevens. Us playing at home obviously gives us little bit of an upper hand.

"They [India] are ranked No.1 in the world. The mere fact that we are playing in our backyard gives us still the upper hand going into the series," said Elgar in the virtual press conference on Friday.
