South Africa’s decision to continue batting after lunch raised eyebrows. Notably, the surface in Guwahati had shown little deterioration. The visitors had a 508-run lead at the lunch break. However, they chose to continue batting until Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Tristan Stubbs, who was the top scorer with 94 runs.
Parthiv Patel, speaking on Star Sports on Wednesday, said that the South Africa coach Shukri Conrad should have known the weight and history attached to the term “grovel.” Patel stated that the remark was clearly disrespectful and added that Conrad might be compelled to apologize on the final day.
"As the Indian team all you do is tell them that ‘You’ve come to this situation by playing well. Well done to you. But there was no need to use such words’. I think through the day we will see an apology from Conrad. I don’t think such things are needed on the cricketing field. You can fight, play hard, but such things are not needed," he added.

“There’s history attached to this. Fifty years ago, an England captain used the same phrase against the great West Indies side, and we all know what followed,” Kumble said.
The word became infamous in 1976 when England captain Tony Greig said that he wanted to make the West Indies “grovel”, a comment condemned and seen as deeply offensive. The West Indies dominated and secured the five-match series 3-0.
