Lungi Ngidi was pleased as punch to have Virat Kohli among his four scalps in “one of his best T20 performances” after South Africa won a crucial T20 World Cup match against India by five wickets on Sunday.
Ngidi, who replaced Tabraiz Shamsi in the playing XI, got 4 for 29 which included the wickets of rival captain Rohit Sharma, opener KL Rahul, Kohli and Hardik Pandya.
“Virat had hit me for two boundaries, so he was trying to attack me a bit. Bowling that (short) ball, I probably knew he would go for it. Could have gone anywhere, for six or in hand, and luckily, it went by my side,” Ngidi told reporters in the mixed zone when asked about his favourite dismissal.
