Controversies did by James Neesham
During 2019 IPL final match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, MS Dhoni was given out after a direct hit from Ishan Kishan. It looked very close call and the third umpire gave it out. Social media divided over the run-out decision. James Neesham uploaded a photo from the match and tweeted-
“I love how passionate some fans are about our sport. I have huge respect for MS but how anyone could see the below photo and say it’s not out it truly astounds me”
Neesham was arguing against CSK fans but after receiving a lot of “dumb comments” on his tweeter handle, he removed his post and posted-
I’ve deleted my tweet about MS Dhoni’s run-out, not because I’ve changed my mind, but because:
1. I’m sick of seeing the same dumb comments in my feed 200 times a day.
2. I just don’t actually care.
Please don’t bother tweeting me about it again. Have a good day everyone
