South Africa's series victory was thanks in no small measure to debutant Lungi Ngidi, who picked up six wickets in the second innings.

Ngidi ended with figures of 1/51 and 6/39 as the Proteas won the second Test by 135 runs at SuperSport Park, with the third Test starting on January 24 at the Wanderers.

21-year-old Ngidi's six wickets were the seventh best by a South African on debut - and the 27th best all-time.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the news of Ngidi's debut performance:
