The continuing Legends League Cricket features a number of former cricketers. Johnson, who plays for the India Capitals, has already dismissed Gujarat Giants captain Virender Sehwag once in the tournament. The pacer bowled three overs during the game and only allowed 22 runs to be scored.
Earlier, Johnson weighed in on the India vs Australia match and backed Virat Kohli to perform against the world champs. Johnson argued that the former captain’s resurgence was advantageous for India.
“It is good for India when their best players can make runs and keep the side confident. He is that player who changed the focus of the team when he took on the captaincy. The team will be happy that he is scoring runs,” Johnson told ANI.
“They have to be looking at winning the series in tough conditions. This will give them confidence heading into the World Cup. They should have a solid and settled team going into it. It will be a great series,” Johnson added.
The Legends League Cricket will run till October 5.
