New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has this unique habit of coming up with hilarious replies on Social Media. The replies range from being funny to sarcastic depending on the scenario of the subject. Neesham is currently featuring in the Indian Premier League in UAE for the Kings XI Punjab. He was trying to help his team to get through to the playoffs. That was with whatever chances that come his way in the current campaign.
While Neesham is an integral part of New Zealand’s white-ball cricket team he has not enjoyed enough chances in IPL for the different franchises he has featured in the past. The Kiwi is known for his hard-hitting skills down the order and also comes in with his handy medium pace bowling. He is probably one of the most underutilized players in IPL history and it has remained that way throughout.
How Jimmy Neesham Ended Up Joining The Kings XI Punjab?
He was first picked by Delhi Daredevils in 2014 and that’s when he got the first taste of the IPL. He got very few chances and did not perform to his standards. Kolkata Knight Riders were the next franchise who tried their luck with the Kiwi. Despite that, then again he was ruled out due to injury. In this edition of the IPL, he was picked by Kings XI Punjab. He once again he got limited chances. Not been at his best till now. He has just scored 17 runs and picked up only two wickets.
This has led to a lot of criticism just like most sportsperson would while they are going through a tough phase. However, Neesham knows how to reply to his haters or trolls on Social Media. Once again, he has done it many times in the past developing a name for himself in this aspect.
The Funny Conversation On Twitter That Went Viral
One Twitter user decided to try his luck against the Kiwi International and insult him. He went on to call him an overpriced celebrity who is known for hitting a cricket world. It was really mean for the user to say such words to an established cricket who has represented his nation at the largest level in cricket. The user also told Neesham to stick to cricket and also added the reference of the World Cup final super over. It was where Neesham bowled and the Kiwis lost to England, in a tough battle for supremacy.
However the 30-year old came up with a tongue in cheek reply. That was, as he shunned the hater and said that he remembers who he bombed a six that went way beyond the boundary in the super over. Neesham has made a name for himself on the field. He has also done so off of it, on Social Media. From his fiery spells and scintillating sixes to his hilarious replies the Kiwi just knows how to deal with the pressure. That is, both on and off the cricket field.
