South Africa's world record chasers: Where are they now?

Makhaya Ntini

Makhaya Ntini took the wicket of Simon Katich.

The genial pacer relentlessly carried on the fast bowling mantle for South Africa until the emergence of a certain Dale Steyn. The third highest wicket-taker in Tests for South Africa, he picked up the wicket of Simon Katich, but more importantly, held his nerve to steer the penultimate ball of the match and hand over the strike to Mark Boucher.

Ntini played ODIs till 2009 but managed to extend his T20I career till 2011. He also played for the Chennai Super Kings until the third season of the Indian Premier League, although he continued to play for the Warriors till the end of 2012.

He recently realized his dream of coaching, replacing Dav Whatmore as the coach of the Zimbabwe national side. He had been appointed as Whatmore’s assistant earlier this year.
