It is really exciting to know a guy like Sehwag: Johnson
"When I joined Kings XI Punjab, I was very excited as I was looking forward to meeting Virender. He is a great guy to get along with. I have thoroughly enjoyed his company as he is incredibly funny. He is gelling well with the team and is also helping out the youngsters during training sessions. He has been communicating very well," Johnson said.
The 32-year-old had a decent outing so far with 10 scalps from nine games at a slightly higher economy rate of eight runs per over. But the big fast bowler isn't complaining as he doesn't have to bowl to his mate Maxwell.
"I wouldn't have liked to bowl to him in the current form that he is in. I would rather sit in the dug-out. It's incredible the manner he has been hitting in all parts of the ground. I remember during a (domestic) one day match at the MCG a couple of years back, he hit me for two huge sixes. I replied by hitting him on the body a couple of times," Johnson recollected a duel.
The veteran of 59 Tests, 136 ODIs and 30 T20 Internationals said that it was easier with George Bailey at the helm of affairs at Kings XI Punjab.
"Obviously, it's great to have George as the captain of Kings XI. When he just came in, he was having a bit of a communication problem with local players purely due to the language barrier.
"But he has slowly got to know his players on an individual basis. He has communicated well with the senior players and has done a great job so far," he said.
Johnson insisted that he is using the "change-ups", considering the benign nature of the strips across the country.
"I have played over 100 ODIs and many Test matches. I have played tough ODI series in India last year. I know the importance of change-ups as the wickets are pretty flat over here. I have had a good IPL last year (Mumbai Indians) in these conditions," Johnson said.
