Indian opener Rohit Sharma brutally ignored South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad for his controversial "grovel" remark made during the recent Test series after playing a key role in the Men in Blue's thrilling 17-run victory in the first ODI in Ranchi.
Last month, Shukri Conrad had sparked a huge controversy with his comments during the second and final Test against India in Guwahati.
