The South African pacer bowls nine deliveries in the 20th over, including three no balls, to conceded whopping 30 runs by Royals’ England star Jofra Archer.
The South African trio became the latest arrivals among overseas cricketers who are taking part in the upcoming edition of the cash-rich league.
Former South African batsman Hashim Amla has come in support of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement, and thanked Lungi Ngidi for standing up for the cause.
Ngidi had said that South African players should take a stand on the BLM movement, especially considering the history of segregation in the country.
The 24-year-old pacer had said that the racism issue is "something that we need to take very seriously and like the rest of the world is doing, make the stand."
Lungi Ngidi has recently made it clear that he will be supporting the movement, just like the West Indies and England cricketers, who are wearing the BLM logo on the collar of their shirts in the ongoing Test series and have also paid the 'One Knee' tribute.
De Kock and Ngidi have both been nominated in the following three categories: SA Men's Cricketer of the Year, ODI Cricketer of the Year and T20 Cricketer of the Year. In addition, the wicketkeeper-batsman has been nominated in Test Cricketer of the Year category.
Janneman Malan scored 129 while Lungi Ngidi grabbed a career-best of 6/58 as South Africa beat Australia by 6 wickets in the second ODI.
Opener David Warner was unbeaten on 67 off 56 balls at the end of the chase but Australia were 146/6 in reply to South Africa's 158/4. Ngidi gave South Africa the breakthrough by dismissing Australian captain Aaron Finch in the fifth over.
Chasing 178, England fell short by just one run as they could manage 176/9 in their stipulated quota of 20 overs at the Buffalo Park on Wednesday evening.
According to an ICC statement, all three players have passed their fitness tests at the CSA's strength and conditioning camp.
Ngidi has been diagnosed with a "significant Grade 1 hamstring muscle tear", which he picked up during warm-ups ahead of the Mzansi Super League play-offs, Cricket South Africa confirmed on Sunday.
