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. Sehwag was the captain of the side in the first season after signing for them before the first-ever auction as an 'icon player.'

IPL 2026: Ngidi Full Of Praise For DC Team-mate Nabi, Calls Him 'a Complete Cricketer'
Chennai Super Kings: Delhi Capitals fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has heaped praise on his teammate, fast-bowling all-rounder Auqib Nabi, describing him as a complete cricketer and added that his exploits in the Ranji Trophy had him intrigued long before the two ever shared a net session in IPL 2026. Nabi was signed by DC at last years auction for a whopping Rs. 8.40 crore after being a net bowler with multiple franchises before. Nabi was one of the key players in Jammu & Kashmir winning 2025/26 Ranji Trophy, picking 60 wickets in ten matches at an average of just 12.56. Though Nabi had figures of 0-17 in his two overs when he got his IPL debut against Chennai Super Kings, he still remains one of front-runners to get his first Test cap for India later in the year. Speaking on Auqib, so obviously when I found out I was coming to Delhi and he was also coming to Delhi, that's when I saw all the news about him. Then I started reading about him and, and his success over the last season and how well he had performed with bat and ball. So I was very excited to meet him. I wanted to meet this guy because he's the hot topic right now within Indian cricket. I'm not talking about the internationals, as the guys are always in the news. Like you always see them and that's fine, but it's the guys that are playing Ranji Trophy and all that stuff where those obviously tournaments give them an opportunity to break through into IPLs and into the Indian team. So for me to hear that he had done so well over the last season, I wanted to meet him. Then when I met him, I realised how skilful a cricketer he is. We were speaking about it now being able to hit the top of off-stump, but he can swing the ball both ways. He can land a yorker, bowls at a good pace and he can hit the ball with the bat as well, Ngidi told IANS in a virtual roundtable chat organised by the franchise on Thursday. Ahead of DC taking on Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium earlier this month, bowling coach Munaf Patel revealed that Ngidi had been spending a lot of time with Nabi at the practice sessions. What struck Ngidi, though, about Nabi, went beyond the skill set - it was the temperament and quiet, grounded, and hardworking nature. So he's a complete cricketer, and he's a very humble guy - very nice and quiet guy as well. So I enjoy people like that. He obviously works hard. So when I was standing in the nets, obviously we were paired up to bowl together. I guess we just sort of clicked, like we don't have a lot to say to each other, but we communicate well and we get along well. For me, it's just nice to meet cricketers who are trying to make their way through the system. You always hear about the top cricketers anyway, so that's standard. But to meet someone who's trying to find his way into the Indian national team or just to make a name for himself, I enjoy those kinds of stories, you know? So, yeah, he added. 2026 has been a year where Ngidi has been prolific in using slower balls.
