‘Grovel’ remarks: ‘Conrad will have a look at his comments’ — Bavuma says others have also crossed the line

South African captain Temba Bavuma downplayed coach Shukri Conrad’s controversial “grovel” remarks, stating Conrad will review his comments. Bavuma acknowledged that some players also “crossed the line” during the series. The comments drew criticism from former players, recalling a similar incident in 1976 where England’s captain’s words backfired spectacularly. South Africa secured a dominant 2-0 series win over India.
