The left-handed pacer from Australia, Mitchell Johnson is one of the fearsome bowlers in the game of cricket. After having a successful career, he hung his boots from the international cricket in 2015. However, he continued to play the T20 league around the world till August 2018. He is one of the best pacers Australia have produced in the international cricket.

He could also hit big sixes with the bat. In the last IPL auction, he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders at his base price of Rs. 2 crores.

He was in and out of the team due to his inconsistent performance with the ball. In 6 games that he played in the IPL 2018, he managed to pick up just 2 wickets. Owning to his inconsistent form, KKR could release him ahead of the auction which is to be held in mid-December.
