Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel reacted to South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad's "wanted India to grovel" remark, calling it "disrespectful". "Maybe [he] doesn't know the weightage of the word. But I don’t think so. There was a smirk on his face when he said it," Parthiv said. "You can fight, play hard, but such things aren't needed," he added.
