Cape Town: The Indian cricket team presented a signed shirt to South African Dean Elgar, who played his final Test match on Thursday. Elgar, a veteran of 86 Tests and more than 5,000 runs, called time on his career at the end of the series against India. Though he scored a majestic 185 in the first game in Centurion, the left-hander could not recreate the same magic in the second game, which lasted less than two days. In the end, both India and South Africa shared the series 1-1.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma presented Elgar with the signed jersey. Former India skipper Virat Kohli was seen handing Elgar his jersey. After losing the first Test by an innings and 32 runs, India bounced back with a seven-wicket win in the second Test.
