Lungi Ngidi, South Africa's new bowling prospect, rose to limelight when he was adjudged as joint second-highest wicket-taker in the Africa Cup.

In a highly unexpected scenario, he was drafted in by South Africa as Steyn's replacement for the test series against India where he took figures of 6/139 and was also adjudged as the Man of the Match in his debut Test match.

Chennai Super Kings were quick in acquiring the young prodigy at a bargain price of 50 lakhs. Buying him has paid dividends for Chennai Super Kings as he has taken 3 wickets from 3 matches at an ideal economy of 7.81.

Chennai's struggle to find a specialist pacer has finally come to an end, thanks to Ngidi who has ticked all the boxes for the side.
