More like the "ch" in the Scottish loch or like the
greek letter chi which forms the first letter in
Christos.

If you want to be pedantic, the technique was not
named "kriging" by Matheron but "krigeage" - a attempt
to turn "krige" into a noun. This is pronounced with a
very soft 'g' almost a 'sh' sound.

Most of the other 'foreign' versions use a hard 'g':
krigaggio, krigovanie kriggage (quebecois) and so on.
Almost everyone I know use the short 'i' as in pig.
