But to return from the sidelines and bowl your side to victories in international cricket is never easy and the pacer feels a lot of credit for his showing in recent times goes to bowling coach Charl Langeveldt.
"He is very supportive, he encourages me to play the way I think, so as a bowler I feel really comfortable with executing my plans," Ngidi said in a Cricket South Africa audio.
"I never feel as though he will not agree with what I am saying. He has been there before, he has been in situations where you have the ball and you have to deviate from the game-plan. He has got a lot of knowledge, and was a very skilful bowler. It has helped my cricket a lot."
But Ngidi feels that he can still do a lot better than what he has done since making a return to the international arena.
"I would rate it (the season) at about a six (out of 10). It was good, but to me it was still not good enough. There were a few games I could have gone for less runs. I did pick up a few wickets, but it is not the finished product. I still feel I can deliver a whole lot more and be a whole lot better," he pointed.
