Known for his witty social media posts, James Neesham once again entertained fans with a hilarious response while trolling Shimron Hetmyer on Instagram. Rajasthan Royals (RR) had posted a training video of Hetmyer demonstrating his bowling accuracy by hitting the stumps during practice, to which Neesham quipped: “I’ve never seen such absolute trash @shetmyer”.
Fans were left in crevices and responded with smiling emoticons.
Here’s the video of Hetmyer showing off his bowling accuracy:
Rajasthan is currently third in the IPL 2022 points table and is approaching qualification for the play-offs. They face Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their final league match in Mumbai on Friday and must avoid a heavy defeat to progress.
RR will have to build on the momentum from their previous game when they defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 24 runs, with pacer Trent Boult taking two wickets in four overs and conceding just 18 runs. The spotlight was also on Yashasvi Jaiswal, who hit 41 runs from 29 balls to help RR post 178 for six in 20 overs.
RR’s bowling division was on top form, limiting LSG to 154 for eight in 20 overs.
In 13 games, the team led by Sanju Samson has recorded 16 points (eight wins and five losses).
