A towering well-built fast bowler who can consistently bowl at speeds higher than 140kmph - Lungisani Ngidi is a classic South African pacer who can rattle opposition batters. He is not all about express pace, but has proved to be a crafty customer in the shorter formats with effective variations. He won the player-of-the-match award on his international debut in 2017, playing a T20I against Sri Lanka. Since then, Ngidi has been a regular feature of South Africa’s sides across formats, and is one of the few bowlers to boast a bowling average below 30 in all three formats of the game at the international level. The Durban-native picked 11 wickets in seven games at an average of 14.18 during CSK’s 2018 title-winning campaign. Now much more experienced, Ngidi was acquired by RCB for TATA IPL 2025 at his base price of INR 1 Crore.
