IPL 2026: Have Been Bowling A Lot Of Slower Balls For Years, Did Take A Lot Of Practice, Says Ngidi

By IANS News April 16, 2026 • 16:20 PM View: 201

Chennai Super Kings: Lungi Ngidi has made the slower ball his signature, but he is quick to point out it has been years in the making. Ngidi, one of the premier fast bowlers for South Africa, first lit up the IPL when Chennai Super Kings won IPL 2018 by claiming 11 wickets in just seven matches.

After a brief stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they won the IPL in 2025, Delhi Capitals picked him up for INR 2 crore ahead of the ongoing season. With his height, pace, variations, and ability to deliver in crunch moments, Ngidi has been a central figure in DC’s bowling attack.
