Jimmy Neesham is likely to be in the Rajasthan Royals (RR) playing XI for their upcoming game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which is to take on 10th April, Sunday, at the Wankhede Stadium. He might be given a chance to strengthen their lower-middle order as it seems to be an area of concern for RR.

RR’s last game was a losing effort as they lost to Royal Challengers Banglore(RCB)  by four wickets at the Wankhede. They are currently placed at the 4th position on the points table, having won two out of three games till now.

Well, one can say that there’s always something happening in the world of Jimmy Neesham. But what is important for the Royals’ fans is the availability of Neesham for their upcoming game against LSG as he is certainly an asset for the Royals.
