IND vs SA: I Think Reactions Like That Show A Bit Of Frustration – Lungi Ngidi On Indian Players’ Reaction After Controversial DRS Decision

South Africa speedster Lungi Ngidi feels that the Indian players were frustrated after the controversial DRS decision which helped Proteas skipper Dean Elgar survive in the last innings of the 3rd Test of the three-match Test series between India National Cricket Team and South Africa National Cricket Team at the Newlands, Cape Town.

The incident occurred in the 21st over when Dean Elgar was given out LBW by an on-field umpire after the ball struck him right in front of the stumps. However, Elgar opted for a review and the decision was overturned after the replays showed that the ball had bounced too much and it went over the stumps. This led to frustration among Indian players and they were seen taking a dig at official broadcasters Supersport using the stump mic.

After the day’s play speaking in the press-conference Lungi Ngidi talked about this controversy and said that the Indian players were feeling the pressure.

“I think reactions like that show a bit of frustration. Sometimes teams capitalise on that. You never really want to show too much emotion but I guess we could clearly see right up there those emotions were high and probably tells us that maybe they are feeling a little bit of pressure.

“That was a really good partnership for us, so they wanted to really break that. I think those feelings were showing up there. At the end of the day, everyone reacts differently to certain situations,” said Ngidi in the virtual press conference after the day’s play.

We’ve Got Good Cricketers And Good Cricketing Brains, And It’s Always A Team Effort – Lungi Ngidi

The Proteas pacer while talking about the DRS system, said:

“Yes ( we trust DRS). I mean, we’ve seen it on numerous occasions being used all around the world. It’s a system in place and that’s used in cricket.”

Ngidi further added that the South Africa team is not a team of superstars and they just have good cricketers with good cricketing brains.

“We are not going in there with a team of superstars, We’ve got good cricketers and good cricketing brains, and it’s always a team effort. There are going to be moments where someone is going to have to put up their hand. If someone is not taking wickets, you make sure you keep the runs down, and if it’s your day, you make sure you cash in,” he said.

Talking about the pitch, Lungi Ngidi said that the surface has a lot to offer to both bowlers and batters and it’s all about patience and bowling in the right areas.

“The ball has been doing something the entire Test series. There are patches on the wicket where if you hit it, it does something a little more than others. And we could see, with patience, guys could score hundreds out there, there have been two 70s already, so with the right application, there are runs in the wicket. As a bowler, if you hit the right areas, there are wickets as well.”

“It’s a good cricketing wicket. Everyone is in the game. It’s pretty evenly matched out,” he added.
