Dale Steyn has criticised South African coach Shukri Conrad for his remarks about Team India during the 2nd Test match against the Proteas. His comments have sparked strong reactions across the cricket community.
Conrad’s Controversial Comment
In a press conference, Conrad was asked why his team chose to set a bigger target despite being close to victory. He replied that he wanted to make India “grovel” by keeping them on the field for longer.
Steyn Disapproves
The remark did not go down well with Dale Steyn. The former Protean shared his displeasure and said such language should not be used in any situation.
Steyn’s Statement
Steyn said he did not support that mindset. He called the comment disappointing and added that some words should never be used, regardless of context.
Support From Indian Cricketers
Other names like Anil Kumble and Cheteshwar Pujara also criticised the remark. They felt it was inappropriate coming from the coach of a national team.
Mixed Public Reaction
Most people seem to agree with Steyn’s view. However, some believe the best response would have been for India to answer with their performance on the field rather than through words.
