IPL 2026: Have Been Bowling A Lot Of Slower Balls For Years, Did Take A Lot Of Practice, Says Ngidi
Chennai Super Kings: Lungi Ngidi has made the slower ball his signature, but he is quick to point out it has been years in the making. Ngidi, one of the premier fast bowlers for South Africa, first lit up the IPL when Chennai Super Kings won IPL 2018 by claiming 11 wickets in just seven matches. After a brief stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru when they won the IPL in 2025, Delhi Capitals picked him up for INR 2 crore ahead of the ongoing season. With his height, pace, variations, and ability to deliver in crunch moments, Ngidi has been a central figure in DCs bowling attack. Ahead of DC preparing to get back to winning ways when they take on defending champions RCB on Saturday afternoon, in a virtual media interaction facilitated by the franchise, Ngidi reflected on his slower balls, the hardwork gone behind perfecting it, preparing to tackle Virat Kohli, playing under MS Dhoni and more. Excerpts: - Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Ive been asked this question a couple of times now since the World Cup. I started at CSK in 2018, and that is something Dwayne Bravo had mentioned to me, that I should work on a good slower ball. I asked him to teach me how he bowls his balls, and he showed me a couple of things. Obviously, it wasnt perfect off the bat for me, but I developed it over the years. It seems like everyone is surprised, but Ive been bowling this slower ball for years now. Its just that Ive probably added a bit more flight and revs to it. Whether I bowl it on a length or fuller, its still the same slower ball. It did take a lot of practice. A lot of guys ask me how I do it, and I think they feel its easy because they see guys try to bowl it from the first ball of their run-up. For me, it took almost close to a year to build the confidence to deliver this ball. It has become one of my weapons. It takes a lot of confidence to run in and bowl it, especially trying to get it to dip on a yorker length. There are times where I get it wrong, and like any world-class batter, they can hit it for a boundary. But when I get it right, it creates chances. In T20 cricket, thats what you want, to create chances or control the flow of runs. I was also watching trends of the IPL over the years, and it feels like everyone wants to bowl fast. But on these wickets, with the bats and the boundary sizes, pace can travel. So you need something different to stay relevant. Q. How did you first develop your slower-ball variation, and what went into perfecting it? A. Im not going to tell you my plans for Virat Kohli because that would defeat the purpose of wickets. But yes, you always come up with plans. You look at technical things, recent dismissals, and patterns. Thats normal planning for every batter before every game. Hes obviously one of the most consistent batters in that lineup, so you have to be aware of him. But having been around that setup, I know the other batters as well, and they are just as dangerous. Theyre in good form, so we will need to play well to beat them. Q. What mindset and confidence do you draw on when executing variations? A. It takes a lot mentally. Its a brave ball to bowl because when you get it wrong, it can become a low full toss or a slot ball and go for a boundary. The confidence comes from preparation. Ive been doing it for years and Im used to bowling under pressure. I bowl in the powerplay and at the death, so its always high-risk. Like the coach says, someone has to do the dirty job, and I guess thats my role. So I have to find ways to succeed in those situations. That includes variations, changing grips, and trying different things. The game is evolving, and you cant keep doing the same thing. Mentally, you have to be strong, and skill-wise, you have to execute well. Q. Do you prefer having multiple variations in your armoury, or sticking to a trusted stock ball? A. There are times where having too many options can become a problem, especially in longer formats. But in T20 cricket, things have changed. Batters are looking to score quickly, especially in the powerplay. If you keep bowling the same thing, they will catch on. You need variations because if something isnt working, you need another option. Otherwise, you get stuck. If conditions are helping, you can stick to your stock ball. But on a good batting wicket, you need something else. Sometimes having too many options can lead to overthinking, but it can also work in your favour because the batter doesnt know whats coming. Q. In T20s, how important are hard lengths and simplicity compared to mixing things up? A. Conditions decide how you bowl. A good ball on top of off stump will always be a good ball. That will never change. Thats where Test cricket has helped me. It gives you the base to execute your stock ball well. Variations help when youre under pressure, but the basics stay the same. Good technique and accuracy are still key. Q. With limited IPL opportunities, how do you maintain the surprise element in your bowling? A. This is my ninth IPL season, and there were about three years where I didnt play a game. Its frustrating, but you dont select yourself. I focus on what I can control, which is performing when I get the opportunity. I used that time to train and prepare for other cricket, including national duties. With the slower ball, people talk about it, but for me, its about execution. Even if a batter expects it, if I execute it well, its still effective. I also have conversations with players like KL Rahul, Axar Patel, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs to understand what batters might be thinking. At the end of the day, I focus on executing my plans and what the captain wants. Q. What emotions come into play when you face your former team RCB, and how do you handle them? A. I dont take emotions into the game. When I play, its purely professional and strictly business as you would call it. Im representing the Delhi Capitals now. I had a great time at RCB and we won the title, but that chapter is over. Now my responsibility is to perform for the Delhi Capitals who have showed their faith in me. Q. After two defeats, whats the mood like in the camp, and how do you keep playoff hopes alive? A. I cant predict the future, but we definitely have the squad to go far. The games weve lost have been close, and if we analyse them honestly, there were moments where we let ourselves down. Thats also the positive. If you can identify those mistakes and fix them, you have a good chance in the tournament. Theres something good building in this team. Q. Are you working on new variations, and how much do you learn from watching others? A. There are things Im working on, but you probably wont see them in this tournament yet. These things take time. Im always trying to learn. Bowling with players like Auqib, you pick things up. The way he swings the ball reminds me of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I dont come into the IPL thinking I know everything. Local players often have better knowledge of conditions. I respect that and Im always open to learning, while also sharing whatever I can. Q. What did winning the WTC and a Test series in India mean to you personally? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa. Q. What was it like playing under MS Dhoni, and what have you taken from his leadership? A. Definitely the ICC trophy - it was the first time we did it for our country. That for me would have to take the cake. Winning a Test series in India is up there. It's very high but when we speak about history, the ICC trophy did a lot for us back in South Africa.

'We Had A Lot Of Top Order Options': Sehwag On Delhi Picking Sangwan Over Kohli In IPL 2008
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag has revealed the reason behind Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) not signing Virat Kohli before the inaugural season in 2008, saying they had a bunch of top-order options and needed more bowlers, Sehwag was the captain of the side in the first season after signing for them before the first-ever auction as an 'icon player.' So at Delhi Daredevils back in 2008, the inaugural IPL season, I remember Shikhar Dhawan was also in our team along with Tilakratne Dilshan. Both of them were openers, but we used to make them bat at three and five because Gautam and I used to open the innings. Manoj Tiwary had taken the number four spot. So we had a lot of top-order batters in the team, and it was becoming difficult to fit all of them in the batting order, Sehwag told Star Sports. At that time, Virat Kohli was also batting at number three or four. So we didn't even have space to bring him in. We lacked a bowler, so we decided to go with Pradeep Sangwan instead of Kohli, he added.

IPL 2026: Communication And Execution Are RCBs Real Strength, Says Hazlewood
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru pacer Josh Hazlewood credited precise execution and clear communication within the bowling unit for their dominant performance against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, highlighting how the team adapted to unfamiliar home conditions. After RCB bundled out LSG for 146 on a slightly tricky surface at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Hazlewood pointed out that the nature of the pitch played a crucial role and made the eventual chase even more impressive. We probably struggled a little bit in the first half of last year in home games. So, it's nice to win the toss and have a bowl first. Its a slightly different wicket than what were used to, a little slower, probably a bit up and down. So, its quite tough for batting. I thought the way we chased the total down was very good to watch. All our batters are in good form and confident, and to chase the score down pretty quickly on a wicket like that is huge, Hazlewood told JioStar. Hazlewood emphasised that RCBs bowling success was built on sticking to simple plans and executing them effectively, with experienced seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar playing a key role in reading the conditions early. You dont have to try too much. Its very simple in planning, but its just about execution, and putting the ball in the right areas. Bhuvi summed up the conditions in that first over, and then there were a few field changes here and there. The communication within the bowling group, in particular, especially from Bhuvi, who bowls first up, is a real strength of ours. Its probably why we did so well in our away games last year, he said.

I keep working on a few different things in training all the time and hopefully, bring them in when we need them.

'Slow Wicket Helped Us Stick To Basics,' Says Hazlewood On RCB's Bowling Display Vs LSG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pacer Josh Hazlewood credited the slow wicket and simple bowling approach for his side's dominant display against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Hazlewood, who grabbed the player of the match award after a brilliant bowling performance, said the nature of the pitch allowed RCB bowlers to stick to basics rather than overcomplicate their plans. Yeah, I think we kept it pretty simple. I think the wicket did enough, so we didnt need to try too much. Probably communicated that around, that the wicket was quite slow, a little bit up and down if you really hit a good length, he said in a video released by IPL on X. The Australian quick emphasised accuracy as the key factor behind his economical spell in which he gave away just 20 runs in four overs and took one crucial wicket. So, yeah, it was one of those ones you didnt have to try too much. Kept it pretty simple and just being nice and accurate on that spot, he added. Hazlewood also highlighted the importance of home support and familiarity with conditions in Bengaluru. Yeah, I think it was great. We love playing here, obviously. Home fans, we love playing here. Its great to win the toss, first of all. But, yeah, I just enjoyed it here in Chinnaswamy, he said. Reflecting on RCBs momentum, he pointed to their recent success, including a crucial win over the Mumbai Indians away from home, which motivated him to perform well. I think the guys, obviously, winning against Mumbai in Mumbai is always a huge thing. Again, we did it last year and this year. So, it just sort of propelled us forward and, yeah, keep moving forward, he noted. Looking ahead, Hazlewood acknowledged the challenge of facing the Delhi Capitals in a rare home day game. Delhi at home, day game. We dont play too many of those, so its nice and hot. Delhi, again, another great side. So, youve always got to be on in this tournament, he said.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru veteran Virat Kohli praised the teams clinical and aggressive approach following their win over Lucknow Super Giants, and also highlighted areas for improvement, noting that he doesnt like seeing collapses. Addressing the side in the dressing room after the victory on Wednesday, Kohli underlined how RCB made a conscious effort to stay ahead of the game despite an early setback, referring to the dismissal of opener Phil Salt. Guys, another good win for us, I won't keep it long at all. I think we were quite professional with the back, conscious effort to try and take the game away from the opposition early on. After we lost Salty, the idea was to press back counter-attack and not give them a sniff in the game and we ended up doing that, Kohli said in a video shared by the franchise on Wednesday. Kohli reflected on RCBs broader batting template this season, one built on counter-attacking cricket rather than consolidation, even in pressure phases. He specifically pointed to the seamless transfer of momentum between batters, a defining feature of their campaign. Again, the handover of momentum from one guy to the other is something that's working really nicely for us. When Rajat came in, of course, he recovered again and played some amazing shots. In small periods of pressure, we chose the right shots, put the pressure right back on the opposition and we just stay ahead of the game at all times, he said.

IPL 2026: RCB Stick To Their Guns, Play To Their Strengths, Says Finch
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch believes Royal Challengers Bengalurus success this IPL season is rooted in their commitment to an aggressive batting philosophy and backing their team to play to their strengths, even in comfortable situations, following their clinical win over the Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing a modest target of 147 after a disciplined bowling effort, RCB continued to press the accelerator rather than shutting the game down conventionally. A brisk cameo from skipper Rajat Patidar set the tone, while Jitesh Sharma played a fearless knock of 23 off nine balls, his first double-digit score of the season despite a string of low returns earlier. Finishers Tim David and Romario Shepherd then wrapped up the chase with unbeaten cameos. Finch pointed out that Jiteshs approach of not holding back, even after a lean run, reflects the confidence and clarity within the RCB setup. That's just a batting unit with a lot of confidence. You can see the gap between the teams on the top of the table and the bottom. That was again evident today. They go with a similar structure on how they go about their run-chases. They go hard even when the game (is in their grasp), Finch told ESPNCricinfo. Highlighting the teams refusal to deviate from their attacking template, Finch said RCBs batters are committed to finishing games on their own terms rather than playing it safe.

Whenever You See Patidar Walk In, He Comes With A Lot Of Intent: Rayudu
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Indioa batter Ambati Rayudu lauded Royal Challengers Bengalurus fearless batting approach following their comprehensive performance against Lucknow Super Giants and reserved high praise for skipper Rajat Patidars intent while walking into the field to bat. After RCB bundled out LSG for 146, thanks to a standout bowling effort led by Rasikh Salam Dar, Rayudu highlighted how skipper Rajat Patidar has instilled an aggressive, intent-driven mindset within the batting unit. They are going after every ball. The captain is doing that so the team is following that tempo and that template. Whenever you see Patidar walk in, he comes with a lot of intent. It is rubbing off on his non-striker as well as the batters who are following. It is quite refreshing to see RCB play that way, Rayudu told ESPNcricinfo RCBs batting display stood in contrast to LSGs struggle on a sluggish surface, where their batters found it difficult to accelerate consistently. Rayudu noted that adaptability to conditions played a key role in differentiating the two sides. Playing on a slow wicket, they adapted way better than the way Lucknow's batters did. It was a slow wicket, they had to adjust their shots and their bat swing but they played some fantastic shots. Generally, we have seen a lot of sixes against loose balls, but this batting line-up has been hitting sixes against really good deliveries. That's a great sign, he said.

'It Was Fantastic': Patidar Hails RCB Bowlers After Emphatic Win Over LSG
Skipper Rajat Patidar: Skipper Rajat Patidar lauded his bowling unit and fielding effort after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) secured a convincing five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. RCB produced a clinical all-round performance, first restricting LSG to 146 and then chasing down the target comfortably in 15.1 overs to climb to the top of the points table. Reflecting on the bowling performance, Patidar was full of praise for his attack. It was fantastic on the bowling. I think the good thing was that we won the toss. And the way the fast bowlers hit the deck was nice to watch. Even I don't know what he's going to bowl next, but I would say he's a very courageous bowler on Krunal Pandya. And at the same time, Suyash's stump-to-stump bowling was tremendous to watch, He said in the post-match presentation. RCBs new-ball pair of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood once again set the tone with disciplined spells, and Patidar highlighted the value of having experienced bowlers in a T20 setup. Of course, for a captain, if you have specialist bowlers in T20 leagues, it makes the job easier because you don't have to tell them what to do next. The experience and ideas are helping all the other bowlers as well. He also credited the teams improved fielding standards, which have been a focus area throughout the tournament. The team has been working on fielding intensity since the start of the IPL. That was followed by Phil Salt, and he usually takes those one-handed and flying catches. It was a great catch for him. Despite RCBs strong start to the season and their return to the top of the table, Patidar remained grounded about their title prospects.

IPL 2026: 'Im Still Not 100%,' Says Kohli After Guiding RCB To Victory Against LSG
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli admitted he is still short of full fitness despite playing a key role in Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) comfortable five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. Chasing 147, Kohli top-scored with a fluent 49 as RCB completed the chase in just 15.1 overs to return to the top of the points table. The former captain, however, revealed that he has been dealing with both a knee concern and illness in recent days. Much better than the last game. I'm still not 100%. My knee was a bit sore in the last game. Even health-wise, I've been under the weather for four or five days now. So, just getting back up to my best. I started off well today, so I was happy with my intensity. Again, would have liked to carry on and finish the game off. Sometimes you have to take the conditions into account as well. The pitch slowed down considerably and I just wanted to keep going in the same manner. But yeah, in the end, should have probably finished that one off as well, He said to the broadcasters after the match. Earlier in the evening, RCBs bowlers set up the win by restricting LSG to 146. Rasikh Salam Dar starred with four wickets, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up three, as the hosts kept the visitors in check throughout the innings. Kohli also highlighted the nature of the surface, explaining how conditions influenced RCBs aggressive approach in the power play. Yeah, it was slower than normal. If you saw, there was not enough grass on it. The last 3-4 days have been very, very hot. It's been very dry as well. So, we thought it was going to be a dry, slow wicket rather than one of those bare ones that are tacky when we play in Chinnaswamy. So, it was different, and hence the idea was to push the game away from the opposition and take the game away from them in the first five-six overs. And for those reasons, the powerplay batting was important and hence I say that I was happy with my approach today. I was able to put the team in front early on. Reflecting on the evolving nature of T20 cricket, Kohli stressed the importance of adapting to situations. Well, it depends on the situation and the condition as well for me. Not all games are going to be 230, 240. We understand the game's moving forward pretty nicely, that the demands of the modern game are pretty different, but you always have to keep an eye out on the situation and when people play under pressure, He said.

IPL 2026: 'Weve Been Below Par With The Bat,' Says Pooran After LSG Loss Against RCB
PCA New International Stadium: Stand-in skipper Nicholas Pooran admitted that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) continued struggles with the bat proved costly in their five-wicket defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. Weve been below par with the bat. 175 wouldve been competitive. But its no secret we have been struggling with the bat the entire season, and today we paid the price, Pooran said after the match. Asked to bat first, LSG once again failed to gain early momentum, managing just 146 in their allotted 20 overs. Mitchell Marsh top-scored with 40, while Ayush Badoni (38) and Mukul Choudhary (39) tried to steady the innings in the middle overs. However, regular wickets prevented them from building any substantial partnerships. RCBs bowlers kept things tight throughout, with Rasikh Salam Dar emerging as the standout performer with four wickets. Bhuvneshwar Kumar chipped in with three scalps, while Josh Hazlewood maintained pressure with an economical spell. In reply, RCB made light work of the chase, reaching the target in just 15.1 overs. Virat Kohli led the charge with a fluent 49, setting the tone early in the innings. Contributions from Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma ensured there were no late hiccups as the hosts sealed a comfortable win. Despite the disappointing result, Pooran remained optimistic about his teams chances going forward. Its T20 cricket. Its a tough game, and consistency is always a challenge. But the guys have been working really hard and were ready to fight. I believe its just a matter of time before things turn around, he said.

Coming to bat after losing the toss, LSG endured a sluggish start as openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram found it difficult to score freely against the disciplined new-ball spell from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood. The duo crawled to 14/0 after two overs. Marsh broke the shackles in the third over with a towering 102-metre six off Bhuvneshwar, while Markram followed it up with a maximum in the next over. However, Markrams brief stay ended on the final ball of that over, as he mistimed a slower delivery from Rasikh Salam Dar and was caught by Devdutt Padikkal for 12 (8). LSG suffered a major setback soon after when captain Rishabh Pant injured his elbow and had to walk off after facing just three deliveries. Nicholas Pooran, who came in next, failed to make an impact and was clean bowled by Hazlewood in the seventh over.

IPL 2026: Wadhera Hopes For Success On Return To Wankhede For Clash With MI
Indian Premier League: Familiarity with playing conditions and players breeds confidence, especially for a player going through a lean patch with the bat. Punjab Kings' middle-order batter Nehal Wadhera is hoping that his return to the Wankhede Stadium for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash with the Mumbai Indians on Thursday will help him regain form and produce a big knock. Wadhera, who has scored 3, 10, and 14 runs in the three matches in which PBKS have batted this season, has played two seasons for the Mumbai Indians from 2023-24 and is quite familiar with the Wankhede Stadium and the current MI squad, barring a few players. The 25-year-old batting all-rounder from Ludhiana in Punjab is brimming with confidence on his return to Wankhede. I have played here for two years, so I know the conditions well. I have played with everyone here. I have played a lot of these bowlers in the nets too. I know I am short of runs, but I am hoping that the time will come when I am also scoring well. I am in good touch, though. I think it is a matter of one innings, and then it will start from there, said Wadhera in the pre-match press conference at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. Wadhera said the team will take confidence from their good record against the Mumbai Indians over the year -- among the eight IPL-founding teams, PBKS are the only one with an equal head-to-head record with MI, with both teams having won 17 matches in the 34 they have played so far. Just like a bowler who is doing well has lots of confidence in bowling or a batter who is doing well has confidence in his batting, similarly, a team. If a team has a good winning record against another team, that also carries forward the momentum. So we are in a very positive frame of mind. It is not only that, but last year we won against them in the semifinals, and this time too they same set of bowlers, the same team. So, we also have an idea of what plan they will come up with, which plan of action they will come up with, and we already have an idea. It is an added advantage that last year, if we did well against their plans, then this year also we will do well, said Wadhera. The middle-order batter who bowls leg-break when required agreed that Punjab Kings have started from where they left off last year, though they were disappointed at losing the final to Royal Challengers Bengaluru. We are exactly where we left, we are carrying up the same momentum. Though we lost the final last year, we are still dominating every team like we did last year. We are following the same routine, there is the same atmosphere basically, which we had last year, he said. Wadhera praised head coach Ricky Ponting and skipper Shreyas Iyer for instilling a positive outlook among the players and giving them confidence to play freely. He said Ponting always tells the players to follow their natural game without bothering about failure. We are exactly where we left, we are carrying up the same momentum.
