Former Australian quick Mitchell Johnson has teed off on Indian captain Virat Kohli in a series of tweets.

It is the latest in a heated series between India and Australia, with rivalries and spats left, right and centre.

Johnson is the latest to become embroiled in the saga, after he took aim at Kohli, suggesting his shoulder injury was not all it seemed.

"I thought Kolhi (sic) was injured, thought that's why he left his team in the field for almost 2 days," he wrote.

"He should be fresh spending 2 days relaxing while his team fought hard in the field.

"Not sure he is injured but I'm not the physio."

Johnson defended his comments from some irate Indian fans by suggesting it's okay to have an opinion.\

"I'm not an international player anymore and what's the issue with having passion and an opinion?" he questioned.
