His ability to break partnerships is underlined by five three-wicket hauls and a best of 4 for in an innings, while an economy of 8.53 keeps pressure constant. With just a single batting cameo to his name, Ngidi’s story is purely one of pace, precision and wicket-taking flair that RCB will bank on in IPL 2025.
