A raw pace bowler like Ngidi could add a different dimension to the Kings XI attack

The 20-year-old South African seamer made headlines with his outstanding bowling against the visiting Sri Lankan T20 side. Very much in the Rabada mould, Ngidi possesses skiddy pace and generates awkward bounce.

The Titans seamer picked up the Man of the Match award in his debut match with figures of 4/19. His exploits in the African T20 Cup won him the Player of the Year award and catapulted him into the Titans franchise.

Kings XI Punjab are in search of fast bowlers and in Ngidi they might just find a bargain buy. He can prove to be a handful on the quick wickets which Punjab will play on at home. The 20-year-old could certainly provide that X-factor which Punjab lack in their bowling department.
