Rabada scalped six wickets, three in each innings, to play a pivotal role in South Africa’s series-levelling seven-wicket win in the second Test on Thursday.
During the post-match presentation, Elgar had said that “sometimes KG needs a rocket” and “there was something that happened behind the scenes but we’re not going to get into that.”
“I went up to KG and I said to him, ‘You are an immensely respected cricketer within our group and at the moment I don’t think you are conducting yourself extremely well,” Elgar said during the post-match press-conference.
“I can have those chats with KG and he responds extremely well. He takes it away, he lets it process and thinks about it overnight and then he comes back the next day with a scenario for me.”
