Who was named Player of the Series in the India vs South Africa Test series 2025?
Simon HarmerSimon Harmer, the South African off-spinner, was adjudged Player of the Series for his outstanding performance with the ball in the 2-0 Test series win. He effectively used turn, bounce, and subtle variations to dismantle the Indian batting lineup, especially on the rank-turner in Guwahati. His five-wicket haul in the second innings of the second Test was instrumental in India’s collapse. Harmer’s prior experience of playing in India in 2015 helped him adapt quickly to the conditions. He complemented Keshav Maharaj beautifully, forming a potent spin duo that consistently troubled Indian batters.

Who made the controversial remark that he wanted India to 'really grovel' after South Africa’s Test series win?
Shukri ConradShukri Conrad, the head coach of the South African cricket team, made headlines for his controversial use of the word 'grovel' to describe the level of domination his team achieved over India in the Test series. The term carries historical baggage in cricket, notably used by England’s Tony Greig before the 1976 West Indies tour, which backfired spectacularly. Former players like Anil Kumble and Dale Steyn expressed disappointment over the remark’s insensitivity. South African captain Temba Bavuma later downplayed the comment, suggesting Conrad would reflect on it. The backlash highlighted the importance of diplomatic language in international sports.
