Auckland, November 20, : .Mitchell McClenaghan, a New Zealand pacer called the ongoing T20I series against India “meaningless”.McClenaghan’s response to an Indian fan’s tweet trolling McClenaghan, in which he said that New Zealand had lost the series (two laughter emoticons)), went viral on twitter. “Did they? What do you mean by meaningless series 72 hours following a WC Final defeat? McClenaghan replied to this, referring specifically to New Zealand’s tight schedule.They began their T20I series in Jaipur against India on Wednesday, three days after they lost to Australia at the Men’s T20 World Cup.
New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, Kyle Jamieson were both rested from the series.However, fatigue has caused them to not look their best, leading to questions about their tight schedule.A fan asked McClenaghan what his answer would be if New Zealand won the series.McClenaghan responded, “Well done for a win with very little preparation against a strong side.”
McClenaghan responded wittyly to a fan who asked McClenaghan why India should win when India isn’t able to beat New Zealand at ICC events.”NZ to India is as Aus to NZ, and NZ to India is to India.”
McClenaghan was praised by Tim Southee, the stand-in captain when a New Zealand fan complained that Williamson wasn’t there.”Southee seems like a solid skipper.”
New Zealand hopes to win the T20I final match at Kolkata, despite India having already won the series.
