Mitchell Johnson takes a jibe at Virat Kohli

Australian star bowler Mitchell Johnson, took a slight dig at the Indian team captain Virat Kohli. The on-field rivalry between the two star players is much known and has always been an interesting subplot whenever both India and Australia play against each other.

Fox Sports Cricket tweeted the news about Kohli’s press and in reply to that tweet, Johnson wrote, “I look forward to no Virat send offs”.

“When it comes to getting engaged in an argument, or a fight, as people like to call it excitedly, I have been completely okay with playing without an altercation. At a personal level, I don’t need to find these things anymore. I have enough belief in my abilities that I can play without a reason to pump myself up,” Kohli said in the press conference.

“We were always the ones giving it back. We were never the ones starting anything. So as long as it doesn’t start, we don’t have a problem in focussing on our game and just doing what we need to do,” he added.

India’s tour of Australia starts November 21 with a three-match Twenty20 International series.
