Kolkata Knight Riders- Mitchell Johnson

Mitchell Johnson was one of the most feared bowlers in International cricket at his peak. He single-handedly ran through multiple batting attacks at his prime and his bowling in the Ashes was particularly impressive.
Johnson though is just a pale shadow of his past and is definitely below standard in this year's IPL. He once had the ability to ball at a pace of high 140Km/hr and 150Km/hr but now he mostly bowls in the 130s and is struggling in the middle.
Johnson has picked only two wickets in 3 matches at an average of 51 and a strike rate of 9. He has leaked runs in the final overs and has been way too expensive for KKR's comfort.
