    IPL 2026: Lungi Ngidi Is Easy To Handle, Knows His Bowling Areas Well, Says Munaf Patel

    T20 World Cup: Delhi Capitals (DC) bowling coach Munaf Patel has lavished praise on South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi, describing him as a smart, self-aware bowler who understands Indian conditions well and is among the easiest overseas players to work with in the dressing room.

    Ngidi has filled the void left by Mitchell Starc’s absence so far by relying on his deceptive slower balls, which dip late to fox batters. An instance of this was seen in DC’s six-wicket win over the Mumbai Indians, where Ngidi trapped Suryakumar Yadav lbw for 51, when he just looked to accelerate.

    Ngidi’s slower balls have fetched him 11 wickets at a tight economy rate of 6.8 and a strike rate of 14. "If you want to become a good bowler in today's era, then you will have to bring good variations. So he has slower balls and continues to play for South Africa. He has also played in this year’s Men’s T20 World Cup in India.
