Bhuvneshwar Kumar breaks Neesham's bat

NZ captain Southee and pacer Trent Boult were seen laughing in the dugout after watching the scenes. 

Surely, Neesham is not a happy man as he has one bat less on this tour.


Neesham was recently in news for his knock against England that led them to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Despite the win, even as his teammates celebrated, Neesham was seen sitting numb and frozen in the dugout. After the game, he answered why he was not celebrating the semi-final win, saying that he would celebrate after winning the tournament and that the job was still not over.
