Kuggeleijn, a bowling all-rounder who has played two one-day internationals and four Twenty20s for the Kiwis so far, is set to make his maiden appearance in the world's most popular T20 league.
Ngidi, South Africa's key fast bowler for the 50-over World Cup starting in May, withdrew from his Chennai team ahead of the 12th season with a side strain he suffered in a Sri Lanka ODI.
