From Insult to Inspiration: How ‘Grovel’ Transformed West Indies Cricket

By Charanpal Singh Sobti November 30, 2025 • 13:56 PM View: 808

The South Africa coach Shukri Conrad, after his side's dominant display on Day 4 of the second Test at Guwahati, remarked that he wanted India to ‘grovel’. His remark left everyone stunned and surprised. Incidentally South Africa won the Test by 408 runs, registering their biggest margin of victory over India.

Did he know how the word grovel is referred to in cricket? This is a historically loaded and provocative term which carries a heavy historical weight as it is associated with one infamous moment.
