IPL 2020: 5 players who might not get a bid in the upcoming auction

Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore was a franchise that released more than 10 players in order to purge their team of players who were not performing as per expectations and it involved the planning and thoughts of their new director of cricket operations Mike Hesson. They also released two New Zealanders in Tim Southee and Colin de Grandhomme, and will now look for some better players in their places.

Meanwhile, fans on Twitter called on Jimmy Neesham to join Royal Challengers Bangalore team. This was because he liked an Instagram post of Hesson, which gave indications to RCB fans that he might be coming to the franchise. The fan tweeted, “Welcome aboard @JimmyNeesh @RCBTweets”

To this, Jimmy Neesham replied, “I liked @CoachHesson’s Instagram of his new house, doesn’t mean I’m moving in ????????????”

Meanwhile, a Sunrisers Hyderabad fan asked him if he is willing to come to their franchise given that Kane Williamson is the captain of the team. The fan asked, “We @SunRisers Would love to Have you on our side.  Thoughts? ????”

Neesham has great respect for his national team captain and tweeted, “I would follow Kane out of the trenches wherever that maybe”

It remains to be seen whether Jimmy Neesham puts himself in the IPL auction or not and which franchise picks him. But one thing is for sure, the all-rounder has developed a big following in India, thanks to his exploits on the field and on social media with his witty tweets.
