New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham asked a cheeky question to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul on the picture he posted on his Instagram account.

Lucknow Super Giants had a great outing in the IPL 2022 auction. Being one of the two new franchises, the Sanjiv Goenka-owned team made outstanding buys in the event. 

Having named KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Ravi Bishnoi as the three draft picks, LSG spent INR 59 crores in the mega auction and not a single penny was left in their purse. They roped in some big names in Quinton de Kock, Jason Holder, Mark Wood, Avesh Khan, Evin Lewis and others.

As the IPL 2022 auction was completed, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul posted a picture of the names of all the 21 players of the franchise have on his Instagram account. 

"A new journey @lucknowsupergiants,” KL Rahul captioned the picture.

Jimmy Neesham, who is known for his wit and sense of humour, hilariously reacted to the picture and asked KL Rahul whether he took the photo with the phone in his mouth. 

“You hold the phone in your mouth to take this?" Jimmy Neesham reacted. 

Replying to his comment, KL Rahul said: "@jimmyneesham skills mate”.
