Johnson criticises Kohli for 'putting extra pressure on India'

Rediff.com18 Mar 2016

Former Australian speedster Mitchell Johnson has criticised Virat Kohli's comments, when he had announced that the hosts are "favourites in our (Indian players) own minds" to win the tournament ahead of their defeat to the Black Caps. With the hopes of a billion expectant fans already weighing on India, Johnson, a key member of last year's ODI World Cup-winning team for Australia, suggested Kohli's 'over-confident' comments will only heap extra pressure on the home-nation. "From our experience playing in the one-day World Cup at home last year, we just wanted to enjoy every moment and saviour the experience but we still tried to take the focus off ourselves, rather than adding to it," he said. "Going into a big tournament like that, there's pressure on every team. Putting even more pressure on your side is just setting yourself up for disaster.
