South Africa v Sri Lanka - 1st T20
Ngidi's Test debut was much more impressive than his good T20 debutNgidi had Indian batsmen dancing to the beat of 'Lungi dance' with a sizzling spell on his debut. Reaping benefits from a straighter line and immaculate length, Ngidi was the best of South African bowlers on display and wrapped up India's innings with a 6/39.

On day 4, he had sent back the sensational Virat Kohli much to the agony of the visitors and he continued to pester India with his nagging line and length today. At 21, these are early days for Ngidi in Test cricket but going by his big heart and terrific performance here at Centurion, w cricket will see a lot of him in the coming months.
