Former Indian Cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra also criticized Jimmy Neesham by stating that he isn’t a great finisher and can’t bowl in the powerplay and in the death overs.

“They play Neesham, an overseas fast bowler, who neither bowls in the powerplay nor in the death overs. He is neither a great finisher nor a big batsman who bats in the top four or five. So why is Kings XI Punjab playing him? You are playing a player who is not really a match-winner,” Chopra said the quoted on his Youtube channel.

Soon, the fans started sharing it all over the social media and Jimmy Neesham responded to it by taking a dig at the T20 stats of the Aakash Chopra.

Jimmy Neesham Tweeted the following “Averaging 18.5 striking at 90 doesn’t win many matches either“

For this, Aakash Chopra responded by stating “Correct my friend. That’s why nobody picks me anymore. I get paid for doing something else. I’m glad that you don’t have an issue with my observations but with my cricket stats. Go well for the rest of the #IPL,” the tweet read.
