Neck & neck: comparing the 5 prong pace attack of India & South Africa

Jasprit Bumrah vs Lungi Ngidi

The Freedom series has been most special for two young bowlers. While Bumrah made his Test debut in the 1st Test of the series, Lungi Ngidi had to wait for one more match. Both these young talents announced their arrival in the 5-day format by picking up a five-fer each.

Bumrah, having played more international and franchise cricket as compared to Ngidi, is a lot more mature. Also, he has a bit more pace and several variations in angles which Ngidi lacks. However, keeping the bowling average and strike rate in mind, Lungi Ngidi is comfortably ahead of Bhumrah at this point in time.

Winner- Lungi Ngidi
