Cape Town - There’s a new kid in town! 

Day 5 of the second Test against India was best viewed with shades on, as South Africa’s cricketing future sure is looking bright.

Already blessed with the best Test bowler in the world, it was another of the Proteas’ bright young prospects that did the damage at Centurion to secure the series victory.

Having claimed the scalp of Indian captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday, 21-year-old Lungi Ngidi tore through the Indian tail on Wednesday morning to complete a memorable debut on his home ground.

His performance made him just the sixth South African to claim five wickets in an innings on his Test debut. But can you name the other five players?

Not all went on to achieve their potential, but with his best year’s still ahead of him, Ngidi certainly has the makings of a future star.
