One of the most successful fast bowlers of the 21st century, Mitchell Johnson’s cricketing career declined with age. He struggled for consistency in the past few years and wasn’t at his best.

Johnson finished his debut IPL season with 24 wickets as he led Mumbai Indians to their maiden IPL title. Sadly, that turned out to be his most successful IPL season until now.

In his last four IPL campaigns, Mitchell Johnson has played only 23 games and picked up 20 wickets at an economy rate of more than nine runs an over. In his last IPL campaign, Johnson was a huge disappointment for Kolkata Knight Riders with just two wickets in six games.

He conceded more than 10 runs an over and was extremely ineffective. KKR released him on Thursday and it looks like we have already witnessed the last of Johnson in IPL.

Teams played: Mumbai Indians, Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders.
