We’ll prevent India from winning series: SA captain Elgar

India have never won a Test series on South African soil and Virat Kohli’s men will go all out to be the first team to achieve the feat, a fact that South African skipper Dean Elgar is well aware of. 


“It [India having success in Australia and England] is something we’re obviously wary of. They’ve improved a lot with regards to their travelling record,” Elgar said.


“I know Virat Kohli has emphasised on that kind of point—that they wanted to improve their record on the road. [We are] Extremely mindful of that; they have set themselves that standard. And I’m sure they’re going to try and fulfil it within this series.”


Elgar, 34, said his team will do everything possible to stop a marauding India when the first Test begins here on Sunday. “And as much as I have the power of being the leader of this team, I’m going to try and prevent them from fulfilling that role or that dream of theirs,” said the left-handed batter.

“That makes an exciting and challenging series for both teams. We know they’re going to come out firing; we’re extremely mindful of that as well.

“I’m pretty sure they know we’re also going to come out firing. Either way it’s going to be an extremely exciting Test series.”
