Dean Elgar - Cricinfo

Proteas batsman, Dean Elgar was assessed by the team’s medical staff and diagnosed with a concussion after suffering a blow to the head off the bowling of Umesh Yadav on Day Three of the third and final Test match against India in Ranchi.


The opening batsman will be closely monitored over the next 24 hours, followed by reassessment every 24 hours until signs and symptoms resolve. The soonest he can return to play is in six days’ time in keeping with the standard concussion management protocol.

Theunis de Bruyn was named the approved concussion substitute for Elgar. He returned unbeaten for 30 off 42 balls (4x4s, 1x6) at stumps.
