Watch: Lungi Ngidi kicks Phil Salt in front of Cameras

Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammates Lungi Ngidi and Phil Salt were involved in a hilarious incident while boarding the team bus.

While the other RCB players were busy boarding the bus, Lungi Ngidi was giving an interview just beside the team bus.

RCB have been fantastic in IPL 2025

With the South African pacer busy talking with the interviewer, Phil Salt decided to have some fun. The England batter pushed Lungi Ngidi from behind, catching his RCB teammate off guard.

Lungi Ngidi maintained his composure and quickly turned back to warn Phil Salt, saying, 'Swear to god'.

The warning, however, had no effect on Salt as he once again pushed Ngidi while walking towards the bus gate. And Ngidi responded to Salt's act by hilariously kicking him, leaving everyone around in splits.

Meanwhile, both players are having very contrasting campaigns in the ongoing IPL 2025. While Salt has become an indispensable part of the RCB playing eleven, Ngidi is yet to play a game this season.

Ngidi has not been used by RCB

With RCB preferring the likes of Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the right-arm pacer has not been able to get a chance in the playing eleven so far.

RCB have done well so far, and it looks highly unlikely that they would tinker with the winning combination, especially in the second half of the season.

Unlike Ngidi, Salt has been a part of the RCB playing eleven since game one and has been one of their best batsmen so far. In 8 games, he has scored 213 runs with the help of two fifties.

He has scored his runs at a strike-rate of almost 180 and has forged a formidable opening partnership with Virat Kohli.

Meanwhile, RCB are looking destined to qualify for the playoffs this season. They are currently in the third spot in the points table with five wins from eight games.

In their last game, they thrashed Punjab Kings by seven wickets to bolster their playoff chances. RCB will be in action next on April 24 when they lock horns against the Rajasthan Royals.
