IPL: 5 players who are dark horses for Chennai Super Kings this season

#2 Lungi Ngidi

Ngidi picked up 7 wickets in his Test debut match against India.

The 22-year old-pacer from South Africa had a dream international debut in the 2nd Test match against India at Centurion in January 2018 as he ripped apart the Indian batting line-up with 6-39 in the second innings and won the Man-of-the-match award.

He journey has been very inspirational so far. He has made it so far by fighting poverty and overcoming odds with a beaming smile he plays the game with.

He was one of the best bowlers in Ram Slam T20 challenge, owing to which he made it to the senior squad. He has everything one can ask in a fast bowler- pace, bounce, consistency and the ability to bowl smartly as per the conditions.

This is the opportunity of a lifetime for him. CSK is a team consisting of some big names, which make him a dark horse this season. He is hungry to prove himself in this tournament and can work wonders for CSK when given a chance in the playing XI.
