New Zealand’s star all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has been an integral part of his national side’s white-ball setup over the past few years. Neesham has made significant contributions for the Kiwis over the years.
Besides being a crucial part of his national cricket team, Neesham has also been a regular fact in the Indian Premier League. However, he has made limited appearances in the tournament. In the 2020 season, he played just 5 matches for Punjab Kings scored only 19 runs, and picked just 2 wickets. In the next season, Neesham was picked by the Mumbai Indians but only made three appearances. He batted only 2 deliveries in the season but picked up five wickets.
In IPL 2022, Neesham was bought on his base price by the Rajasthan Royals and even as the side reached the final of the season, the Kiwi all-rounder played only two matches, scoring 17 runs.
When Jimmy Neesham Gave A Savage Reply To A Troll
Meanwhile, a few months back a fan asked him the reason behind him not being able to convert his international performances into the IPL. The fan asked:
“why dont you perform in IPL like you perform in International games..”
Neesham was quick to notice the Tweet and come up with a savage reply to it. In his reply, Neesham trolled the fan back by writing how he wouldn’t have been able to perform at the international level if he got only one game to play in a year. He wrote:
“I probably wouldn’t perform well in international cricket either if I played one game a year,”

However, Neesham clarified later that the tweet wasn’t meant to be a dig at any franchise. He wrote:
“Also… everyone trying to act like this tweet is bodying someone or trolling someone 🙄. Literally everybody in elite sport knows continuity of role is important. It’s just sometimes the situation doesn’t allow it and players just have to try to make do. Its nobody’s fault 🤷♂️”
