Young fast bowling sensation from South Africa, Lungi Ngidi will have his parents in the stands when he steps into the field second time for South Africa. The second Test will start today at Johannesburg.

21-year-old Ngidi grabbed eyeballs when he bagged 7 for 90 in his debut match against India at Centurion.

His 6-39 in the second innings enabled the Proteas to win by 135 runs and wrap up the three-Test series with a match to play.

Ngidi comes from a humble background, growing up in KwaZulu-Natal. He plays his domestic cricket for the Centurion-based Titans.
