The New Zealand cricket team is currently playing a 2-match ICC World Test Championship series against the Indian cricket team. The first match of the series happened in Kanpur at Green Park. The two teams gave all they had, and eventually, the Test match ended in a draw. The action has now moved to Mumbai, where Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat first. Jimmy Neesham had a unique reaction to this toss result.

The New Zealand cricket team reached India to play a brief tour just two days after losing the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 Final to the Australian cricket team. The Blackcaps played a 3-match T20I series before playing in a 2-match Test series. Jimmy Neesham played during the T20I series, and in that series, the Kiwis all three tosses and lost the series by 0-3.

In the Test series, Ajinkya Rahane won the toss against Kane Williamson in Kanpur, and earlier today, Virat Kohli called the coin toss right against Tom Latham at the Wankhede Stadium. Reacting to Kohli winning the toss against Latham, Jimmy Neesham wrote on Twitter:

Why is Jimmy Neesham not playing in the ICC World Test Championship series between the New Zealand cricket team and the Indian cricket team?

Jimmy Neesham is not a part of the New Zealand cricket team’s Test squad for the ongoing series against India. In fact, Neesham has not played a Test match for his country since 2017. The selectors have only picked him in their white-ball squads.

Nevertheless, Neesham is a popular name on social media, especially on Twitter. He has a huge fan following, and his latest tweet has already received more than 1,000 likes.
