IPL 2018: 4 foreign players who have been given way too many chances

#3 Mitchell Johnson

Johnson has been ineffective for KKR

To the surprise of many, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Mitchell Johnson at the auction at his base price of 2 crores. After Mitchell Starc's injury, the responsibility of leading the pace-attack was handed over to Mitchell Johnson, but unfortunately he has failed to live up to them. The Australian pacer has taken just 2 wickets in 4 matches, while giving away runs at a high economy of 10 runs per over.

Owing to his poor form, he has been in and out of the playing XI. KKR has juggled Johnson and England pacer, Tom Curran, in the playing XI. But none of these pacers have been able to create much of an impact. KKR can go back to Curran or give Javon Searles a chance to prove his worth.
