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.

"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.
