South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi was at his lethal best of Sunday as the 26-year-old turned out to be an unexpected star among Proteas pacers with four wickets in three overs to wipe out India’s star-studded top-order during T20 World Cup Super 12 match in Peth. He took the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya in space of 14 balls to leave the Men in Blue in deep trouble at 49/5 by the ninth over.
