Dubai, May 19 

South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi wants to set the record straight against India in the upcoming World Cup, saying his team “owes one” to the Virat Kohli-led side following their ODI series loss at home. India had sealed a comprehensive 5-1 win over South Africa last year. The Proteas were missing some key players like skipper Faf du Plessis, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock during that series and Ngidi believes a full-strength team will be able to return the favour when they clash with India on June 5 at Southampton. “I believe we owe them one,” the 23-year-old said. “I’m looking forward to the match against India. When they came here, they had a good series against us. So in my mind, I believe we owe them one. It would be a very exciting game for me. I’m sure it will be for all the guys as well. They’re a great team, don’t take that away from them. But when they had a good series here, we were missing a few players. With those guys back, we’ll see how it evens out a bit,” added the 23-year-old. — PTI
