A world-class talent from Durban, South Africa, Lungisani Ngidi is a premier right-arm fast bowler known for his imposing height and natural ability to swing the new ball. A proven performer on the international stage, Ngidi blends raw pace with a deceptive slower ball, making him equally effective at the start and in the death overs. He first made waves in the IPL with Chennai Super Kings, where he was instrumental in their 2018 title-winning campaign, claiming 11 wickets in just seven games at a remarkable average of 14.18. After a brief stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025, he was secured by Delhi Capitals ahead of the 2026 season for INR 2 Crore. His vast experience as a front-line seamer for South Africa and his previous title-winning pedigree will be vital for DC’s bowling department as he will pair with the likes of Mitchell Starc and Mukesh Kumar.
