Jimmy Neesham’s birthday wish features Suryakumar Yadav; all-rounder takes a dig at Indian batter

New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham is well-known for his cult presence on social media and once again took his fans to a frenzy on his 32nd birthday.

Neesham turned 32 on Saturday. He has become a constant figure for the Black Caps in the shortest format of the game. He can accelerate the innings at any time and take the side home with his explosive approach down the order. During his 48 T20 International appearances so far, Neesham has recorded a total of 607 runs at an exceptional strike rate of 165.85.

Referring to these statistics, ESPN Cricinfo tweeted a special birthday wish for the Kiwi all-rounder.

The Twitter post read, “His (James Neesham) T20I batting strike rate of 165.84 is only bettered by Suryakumar Yadav among players from full member nations. Happy birthday to hard-hitting New Zealand all-rounder.”
