India suffered their second home whitewash in a year. During the second Test in Guwahati, Conrad made a controversial comment while explaining why his team chose not to enforce the follow-on despite holding a massive 288-run first-innings lead. Conrad said that the Proteas wanted India “to really grovel.”
"You could say it was an ill-advised use of the word. We need to look back at South Africa's re-entry into international cricket. It was the Indian Cricket Board that proposed South Africa's readmission after more than 20 years of isolation, and their first international match on return was played in India," the former India batter said.

The Indian batting legend said that he isn’t seeking an apology from Shukri Conrad but added that the coach should address his remark in his next media interaction. He stated that people often get carried away in the heat of the moment and sometimes say things that go beyond what they intended.
"In the heat of the moment, you can get carried away and say something that goes a bit over the top. Given the strong connection between Indian and South African cricket over the last 30 years, I think he can simply clarify that he got a bit carried away," he concluded.
