On an otherwise frustrating day for South Africa, it was a profitable Sunday for Lungi Ngidi. He scalped three.
About his twin-strike soon after lunch — Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara off successive deliveries — Ngidi said, “My rhythm got better when I ran in from the press box end. Things started to go my way. I always bowl better from that end and waited for my chance.”
On the leg-before dismissal of Mayank [replays suggested the sphere was missing the stumps but ball tracking showed the ball striking the leg-stump] Ngidi said, “It was a great shout. If anything it was the umpire’s call I thought. But I knew that the ball did not rise as much as my earlier deliveries.”

High in the Nilgiris, a quiet ecological revival is underway. Once lost to plantations and invasive species, native grasslands and shola forests are slowly returning—bringing back wildlife, improving water security, and strengthening climate resilience. Driven by civil society groups, conservationists, and indigenous communities, this restoration story offers hope at a time when fragile ecosystems across India face growing threats.
