Mitchell Johnson taunts a Virat Kohli fan: The former Australian fast bowler turned up the heat on Twitter.
India captain Virat Kohli forced everyone to be in awe of him at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi last night. Having registered his second consecutive ODI century and 41st overall, Kohli had nearly scripted another masterful ODI chase.

In what eventually wasn’t to be, Kohli ended up scoring 123 (95) with the help of 16 fours and a six. For the 34 overs which Kohli batted in the middle, he oozed class of the highest nature. Perhaps, it was the reason why he claimed this century to be one of his finest as far as timing the ball was concerned.
Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson, who is currently in India for a commentary stint with host broadcaster Star Spots, was another of those cricketers who tweeted for the Indian skipper after he brought up his century. Despite mentioning about the innings, Johnson called for an Australian victory.
Another 100 to Kohli, but I think Australia will get the victory tonight

Usually active on social media platform Twitter, Johnson’s attention was caught by a fan who had tagged him in his tweet. Highlighting that 41 is just a number for Kohli, the fan demanded for Kohli’s DNA Test before the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
As summer begins in India Kohli is thirst for runs. 41 is just a number for him.Demand DNA test before starting world cup or else he will shatter all world cup records!!@SriniMaama16 @MichaelVaughan @MClarke23 @MitchJohnson398 @BCCI @CricProf @cricketrevolt @is_inzybhai #Kohli

Mitchell Johnson takes a dig
Laying emphasis on the 30-year old cricketer shattering all records during the world event, Johnson was witnessed as taunting the Indian fan. The southpaw made it clear that the numbers which matter the most are the World Cup titles.

There is no hiding from the fact that Australia outnumbers every other nation in terms of World Cup victories. With two World Cup titles to their name, India and West Indies are the joint second-highest on the list. However, Australia tops the list with a staggering five World Cup titles under their belt.
How Twitter reacted:
Yup failed in 2015 WC Semi vs Johnson , Failed in 2017 CT vs Amir …. He never delivers when it matters like Sachin !! … 41 centuries means nothing to fans …

Haha…I will still ask questions … Bcoz he is the highest paid cricketer on earth …. If he earns nothing like windies or Srilankan cricketers I won’t expect anything from him…
He should’ve won More & More trophies for India …but unfortunately …👎👎

Australia World Cup Champions.
Funny how many geniuses say things like, ” duh, your team will only win if your players play well.” Such insight.
Enjoy watching India be knocked out before the final. Again.
