Johnson jokingly demands for Kohli’s hundred: Former Australian fast bowler posted a tweet regarding Kohli scoring a ton at MCG.

Former Australia spearhead Mitchell Johnson was yet again actively witnessed on social media platform Twitter during the first day of the third Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Melbourne.

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, Johnson has been there and done that on Twitter this month.

Johnson, who had heavily advocated for the ‘lively’ pitch at Perth, took a dig at the Melbourne wicket, which gave the impression of having nothing for the bowlers.

 

One of the Indian fans replied on Johnson’s tweet saying that he is giving an excuse as India captain Virat Kohli looks set to score another hundred.

It was at this point in time that Johnson added that if Kohli fails to score a hundred on this flat pitch, he should retire.

Johnson’s tweet saw the Indian media covering it which perhaps left him agitated and saw him writing explanation for the same.
