Lungi Ngidi has one simple wish after making a sensational test debut for South Africa."I'd like this to be a long career," he said on Wednesday after picking up the man of the match award in the second test against India at SuperSport Park. Given his history with injuries, it is hardly a surprising ambition for the strapping 21-year-old.
Ngidi impressed in the first innings with a direct-hit run-out and some high-paced bowling, even though he only picked up one wicket. He came into his own with six for 39 in the second innings to bowl South Africa to a 135-run win. Like his new teammate, Kagiso Rabada, Ngidi went to one of South Africa's leading private schools. Rabada was at St Stithians in Johannesburg, Ngidi attended Hilton College near Pietermaritzburg, the alma mater of Mike Procter among 11 other test players before Ngidi. Ngidi was lured up north to attend Pretoria University, where he is studying for a labour law degree. It is also home to South Africa's cricket academy, so he can study and improve his cricket at the same time.
