South Africa opener Dean Elgar had to face the wrath of Indian fans after he made some comments on Indian hotels and food. A video of him giving statements regarding some of the hotels and food in India has gone viral on social media.
This did not go well with Indian fans who brutally trolled him on Twitter.
“It’s a challenging tour. You get stretched as a person, you get stretched as a cricketer, I think you get to know yourself quite a lot as a person when you come to the smaller places where the hotels are maybe not as good, and you get challenged on the food you eat potentially,” Dean Elgar was quoted by PTI as saying before the third Test in Ranchi.
Elgar’s comments made some of the fans furious on Twitter. Have a look at some of the Tweets:

I think Dean Elgar or anyone wouldn't comment the same if they do good in T20 format. You then adapt to Indian off-field conditions more quickly!
