Maxwell referred to the third T20I between New Zealand and Australia last month when he took Neesham to the cleaners. In the 17th over of Australia’s innings, the Aussie dasher smashed the right-arm pacer for four boundaries and two sixes, collecting 28 runs.

Although Maxwell managed to impress many netizens by pulling Neesham’s leg, the Kiwi star eventually had the last laugh. The southpaw reminded Maxwell that New Zealand had ultimately clinched the series 3-2 by sharing a picture of his side with the winners’ trophy. “Haha nah you get used to lifting stuff after a while,” wrote Neesham.

As mentioned above, Maxwell and Neesham joined forces last season, but in IPL 2021, they’ll ply trade for different teams. While the Aussie will serve Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the New Zealand star found his new home at Mumbai Indians.
