Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra had criticized KXIP for playing New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham in the team, to which Neesham responded with a tweet citing Chopra’s batting figures. The IPL commentator didn’t hesitate to again reply to his tweet.
Neesham hasn’t been up to the mark with the bat as well as the ball. He has only bagged two wickets in the four matches played — and has conceded runs at an economy of 10.31. He has only registered seven runs with the bat yet. KXIP have won only one match out of the four thus far.
The Twitter battle between Jimmy Neesham and Aakash Chopra
Aakash Chopra’s comments over Jimmy Neesham must have low-key pinched him and so he took to twitter and posted the figures of Aakash Chopra to mock him in revenge.
“Averaging 18.5 striking at 90 doesn’t win many matches either.” tweeted Jimmy Neesham
“Correct my friend. That’s why nobody picks me anymore. I get paid for doing something else. I’m glad that you don’t have an issue with my observations but with my cricket stats. Go well for the rest of the #IPL.” Aakash Chopra retweeted Jimmy Neesham’s tweet on him with this caption.
