Johnson reacts on Pant-Paine sledge: Former Australian fast bowler was seen reacting on Pant sledging the Australian captain.

During the fourth day of the third Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Melbourne, India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was seen passing impolite comments to Australia captain and wicket-keeper Tim Paine.

It is worth mentioning that it was Paine who passed some quirky comments regarding playing for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League or babysitting his kids to Pant yesterday.

Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson, who has been supremely active on Twitter during this series, had an opinion on the same. The 37-year old found Pant’s comments ‘funny’. Watch his tweet below:

 

As the pattern has been throughout the series, some of the Indian fans had something or the other to say to Johnson regarding his comment. Johnson was then seen standing by his words, giving a fitting reply to the Indian fans.

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 to arguing with an Indian fan over revenge from Kohli, Johnson has been there and done that on Twitter this month.
