#10 Lungi Ngidi
The year 2019 belonged to spinners as 7 out of the top 10 wicket takers were spinners. It was a tough choice to pick a fast bowler in the Cricadium’s Best ODI XI of 2018. However, there was one pacer who got picked simply because it was a breakthrough year for him. Lungi Ngidi who was one of the most impressive fast bowlers this year.
He took 26 wickets from 13 ODIs in 2018. He made his debut against India earlier this year. Right from the beginning, he showed that he belonged. The right-hander had an average of 23.03 and was a vital cog in South Africa’s wheel.
