Will Ngidi play against Chennai Super Kings or not? Bowling coach confirmed

New Delhi. Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel said on Monday that Lungi Ngidi is ready to play after recovering from the head injury he suffered in the home match against Punjab Kings on April 25. Ngidi was immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance after falling on his head while trying to catch the catch. Due to this injury, this South African fast bowler did not play two matches.

Munaf said before the match against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday, ‘All the players are fit. Lungi also fits now. He did not play two matches because six days’ rest is necessary after a head injury. The bowling will be strengthened with the return of Ngidi. Mitchell Starc has also come into the team and he performed brilliantly in his first match against Rajasthan Royals. Delhi Capitals failed to save 264 runs against Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings created a new record while chasing the target and won the match.

Munaf said that the team will definitely benefit from the arrival of Starc. Munaf said, ‘If there is a bowler who takes wickets in the powerplay, the whole match changes. If wickets do not fall in the powerplay, teams score up to 220-230 runs. This former Indian fast bowler said, ‘When the main bowler is at the crease and takes wickets in the powerplay, it makes a lot of difference. We were not able to bowl in partnership, but now this shortcoming has been removed.

On David Miller not playing in the last match, Munaf said, ‘Only four foreign players can play in the match. Sahil was injured, so we needed an opener and we thought of giving Pathum another chance. We had to play two foreign fast bowlers. Therefore only one of Pathum and Miller could play. We chose Pathum because the team needed an opener.
