Mitchell Johnson - Leaking runs as quick as his pace

The hero for Australia in their 5-0 whitewash of England in Ashes 2013-2014, has been a shadow of his past in IPL 2018. Johnson has been consistently clicking 145 km/h this year, but his line and length haven't suited the Indian conditions.

Johnson was expected to be the spearhead of the KKR bowling lineup in the absence of Mitchell Starc, but he has managed to pick up just 2 wickets in 6 matches, at an awful economy of 10.28, forcing KKR to replace him with Tom Curran of England.

In his current stint in KKR, he has been mentoring the Indian U19 quicks Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi. With pace and fitness on his side, Johnson can still make a turnaround and can make batsmen dance to his tunes.
