Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) suffered a demoralizing loss against the Mumbai Indians (MI) led to the experts including former India cricketer Aakash Chopra criticizing the management a lot. He questioned the place of Jimmy Neesham in the team and also said that the all-rounder isn’t a match-winner.
After coming across Aakash Chopra’s comments, Neesham took a hilarious dig at the former’s T20 stats and stated that the numbers weren’t match-winning either. However, the cricketer-turned-commentator took it sportingly and replied that his numbers made his change the profession. He also said that teams stopped picking him in T20s due to those poor numbers only.

In the process, Jimmy Neesham responded to a couple of fans who asked him to concentrate more on improving his game rather than being on social media. As far as his performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) is concerned, he has scored only 7 runs in the only innings he batted while picking a wicket in the 10 overs he bowled.
Meanwhile, after a poor performance against MI, Jimmy Neesham expectedly was dropped from the playing XI against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Sunday. Under the captaincy of KL Rahul, the Punjab0based franchise brought back the services of Chris Jordan to strengthen their death bowling. Aakash Chopra, after the toss, took to Twitter to inform his followers about the changes KXIP made.
