Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson once again accumulated numerous eyeballs as he was seen arguing with an Indian fan on social media platform Twitter. The conversation shaped into a nasty one when India captain Virat Kohli was involved into it.
From tweeting on one of Kohli’s dismissal in the ongoing Test series to criticizing the Indian captain for initiating verbals in the second Test to arguing with former India opening batsman Aakash Chopra over the wicket in Perth to criticizing ICC and Times of India over fake quotes to demanding a Test century from Kohli on flat MCG wicket, Johnson has been there and done that on Twitter this month.
It all happened after Johnson tweeted when Australia took the third new ball in the Indian innings.
3rd new ball is the best ever 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

An Indian fan quoted one of Johnson’s predictions, which wasn’t appearing to hold true, adding that the 37-year old former cricketer shouldn’t attack on individual players.
Where is 0-25 ? Your prediction has a only less than 33% accuracy….So don’t talk rubbish and a laughing piece…It’s better to be fair to a game and don’t attack personally

Johnson quoted the bio of the Indian fan, saying that he is just doing what is mentioned in the bio.
Think big, work hard, believe in yourself etc etc this is your profile quote so that’s all I’m doing believing in the Australian team 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/MkA4quCSex

For a brief moment, the Indian fan agreed with Johnson but again advised him to not attack players and keep balance between tweets.
Yes u can pray for Australian team and that’s ur right but not to personally attack @imVkohli and other team members ..You should keep balance and rationality in ur views ,when u r expressing it for opposite team .

It was at this point in time that Johnson named Kohli in the conversation, citing that Kohli didn’t respect him in 2014. He also asked the Indian fan to not be so obsessed.
Maybe Kohli should think the same way when he said he didn’t respect me in 2014 but that’s okay isn’t it 👍🏼 keep your balance. I have been rational in my article, I’ve just given my opinion in what I saw. Stop obsessing and get over it

The Indian fan then praised Johnson for his good timing of revenge.
Ohh…thats in ur mind so taking revenge now ..Good timing

Perhaps, things started to get on Johnson’s nerves at this point in time as he mentioned that Australia had their revenge when they beat India in ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 and also in the Test series which preceded it.
Revenge came winning the World Cup when I was still playing and winning the 2014 series at home 🍻

Mitchell Johnson asks Virat Kohli to retire if he fails to score a century at MCG https://t.co/GxirCF9k3s

This is the kind of pitch that made Mitchell Johnson retire mid-series. The curator gig at the MCG looks a poisoned chalice. #AUSvIND
