Mitchell Johnson Takes a Sly Dig at Virat Kohli; Says Indian Captain Obsessed With Australia

Mitchell Johnson has been on the wrong side of the netizens ever since he has taken a potshot at the Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli by calling him silly and disrespectful in an opinion piece of newspaper in Australia. Since then the keyboard warriors have trolled him every single day for the column on Virat Kohli. However, even the pacer gives it back to the trolls and did not mince words. Once again, during an argument on Twitter, Mitchell Johnson has taken a sly dig at the Indian cricket captain. Video: Virat Kohli and Tim Paine Exchange 'Frosty Handshake', Mitchell Johnson Calls Indian Captain 'Silly' and 'Disrespectful'.

He indirectly went on to say that Virat is obsessed with Australia. So here’s what happened. A netizen asked, “Hey Mitch, why whole Australia is so obsessed with Virat?@FoxCricket.” Johnson replied and wrote, “Whole Australia isn’t, I think it’s the other way around wouldn’t you say. But we do love watching great cricket & seeing great performances 👍🏼.” Check out the tweet below:  Marcus Harris Sledges Rishabh Pant During Day 5 of IND vs AUS; Says, ‘If You Get Out You Can Go Out and Disco Tonight’ (Watch Video).

Prior to this, Mitchell had taken a dig at the Indian cricket captain for the frosty handshake he exchanged with Tim Paine after losing the second test match. The video of the handshake between the two captains went viral. “Virat Kohli could not do that with Tim Paine, shaking the Australian captain’s hand but barely making eye contact with him. To me, that is disrespectful. Kohli gets away with more than most cricketers simply because he is Virat Kohli and he gets placed on a pedestal but this Test left the Indian captain looking silly,” he wrote.
