Mitchell Johnson has remained at the top of his fitness at the age of 36 balls.

However, Johnson has lost his spark with the ball in the fag end of his career.

Johnson recently played for the Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR) in the cash-rich IPL. The left-arm fast bowler scalped two wickets in the six matches he played for the Men in Purple.
