Lungi Ngidi
Definition
Lungi Ngidi (full name: Lungisani True-man Ngidi) is a South African professional cricketer, renowned for his fast bowling prowess in international and IPL cricket.
The name 'Lungisani' (shortened to Lungi) derives from Zulu meaning 'fix it' or 'correct it,' while 'Ngidi' means 'lock,' creating an amusing combo that the cricketer himself finds puzzling.
