The flamboyant all-rounders Glenn Maxwell and James Neesham have been known for sharing great camaraderie off the field, with the close bond shared by the duo reflecting on the field as well as off the ground. The duo played for the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) squad during the recently concluded IPL 2020, pulling off a stunning relay to dismiss Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma during a league match.
Neesham’s relationship with Maxwell off the field reflected in a dig by the former, following a picture circulated showing the Aussie all-rounder carrying several cans of soft drinks in his arms. Tweeting about the same, Neesham said, “When you’re earning a bajillion dollars but still don’t wanna pay 8 bucks for a coke from room service.” The Kiwi all-rounder seemed to be in a mood to have some more fun at Maxwell’s expense, as evident from his cheeky confession in response to a tweet regarding a podcast.

The players have had a forgettable outing in the recently concluded 13th edition of the IPL. Maxwell’s inability to deliver quality performances drew a lot of criticism, as he failed to hit a single six having been signed for a massive sum. Neesham also struggled to impress in the limited opportunities provided.
