E2bet<\/strong>: Lungi Ngidi<\/strong>: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) seamer Lungi Ngidi recently explained the meaning and pronounciation of his name amid all the misconceptions ahead of their next match in the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ngidi hilariously claimed that he understands the short form of his first name means an attire in India and hopes to get one for himself too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lungi Ngidi<\/strong>: The South African pacer, who was bought by RCB for his base price of \u20b91 crore, has played only one game which came against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, he played an integral role in Bengaluru’s win, taking figures of 4-0-30-3, including two wickets in the same over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lungi Ngidi<\/strong>: Explaining the rationale behind his name in a video uploaded by RCB on X,\u00a0Ngidi\u00a0said Lungisani means means \u2018Fix it\u2019 and Ngidi is \u2018A lock\u2019 but was clueless about why those two words were put together. He elaborated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Hi guys, my name is Lungi Ngidi. I\u2019ve heard lot of it pronounce it as Negidi. But I want to clarify it\u2019s Ngidi. It doesn\u2019t mean cold. My full name is Lungisani that means \u2018Fix it\u2019 and Ngidi is \u2018A lock\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I have no idea why they put those two together but that\u2019s pretty much my name. I know that is an attire that is worn in India and hopefully, one day, I will get one for myself. But for me, if my full name is cut in half and that\u2019s how I got Lungi. But I realize it means something different here.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lungi Ngidi<\/strong>: RCB out to confirm playoff spot as they face the Lucknow Super Giants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Royal<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, RCB will next face the\u00a0Lucknow Super Giants\u00a0(LSG) on Friday, May 9, at the Ekana International Stadium. <\/a>With eight wins in 11 matches along with 16 points, the Royal Challengers are second in the points table and should qualify for the playoffs should they beat the Super Giants on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the two teams set to face in IPL 2025 for the first time, the Super Giants are under pressure despite playing at home. They are coming off successive defeats and have won only five out of 11 matches. Hence, a defeat on Friday is likely to officially knock them out of playoff race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
