South African star bowler Lungi Ngidi shushed West Indies star Jayden Seales and further mocked him by chirping action after cleaning him up in the first innings of Day four of the first Test match between South Africa and the West Indies taking place at the Port of Spain. This hilarious action of the South African right-arm pacer grabbed social media attention on August 11.
Interestingly, the fans have mixed reactions, as some feel that it was his light gesture in the game while others criticise and mock him for his actions in the thrilling action. Both sides have returned to Test cricket to boost the rankings in the WTC cycle. The West Indies recently lost to England by 0-3, while South Africa’s second-string side also suffered a defeat against New Zealand in the two Test series in February.
