Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) all-rounder Jimmy Neesham got slammed by Twitterati for pulling down former India cricketer Aakash Chopra over his comment. Chopra shared his opinion and said Neesham could not be the match-winner KXIP is looking for.
Neesham didn't like the way he was being singled out by Chopra and in his defense, the all-rounder ended up making a mistake. He took a dig at Chopra's career stats which clearly wasn't right from his side.
Twitterati were not happy with Neesham's comment highlighting Chopra's numbers and he got criticized. "Averaging 18.5 striking at 90 doesn’t win many matches either.", his tweet read.
