Playing in India is very tough, says Dean Elgar

Visakhapatnam, Oct 4: R. Ashwin might have finished with another five-wicket haul while Ravindra Jadeja became the fastest left-arm bowler to pick 200 wickets in Test matches, but the third day of the first Test between India and South Africa at the ACA-VDCA Stadium undoubtedly belonged to Proteas opener Dean Elgar as he hit a brilliant 287-ball 160 on a wicket that not only provided Ashwin and Jadeja with turn, but the odd ball also jumped after hitting the crack.

Speaking at the end of the day's play, Elgar said that it is really tough to bat in Indian conditions and he learnt from the experience he had on his last tour with the team.
