Australian left-arm pacer Spencer Johnson is expected to be one of the most talked-about replacement signings ahead of IPL 2026….
The major change in the KKR’s lineup is that fast bowler Spencer Johnson hasn’t been included in the playing XI against SRH.
However, India are coming into this match with the same team after they called in Varun Chakravarthy in place of Harshit Rana in their final group stage match against New Zealand.
During the first over of the must-win ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash, Rahmanullah Gurbaz was left speechless after Spencer Johnson snuck in a yorker under his bat, to clean him up.
Spencer Johnson registered figures of 5/26 in his four-over spell versus Pakistan in the second T20I of the three-match series for Australia.
We will have a look at their strongest playing XI, which might help them clinch their second IPL glory.
New Zealand is scheduled to host Australia for a three-match T20I series, followed by two Tests, starting February 21.
Johnson was also called up by Australia’s T20I squad for their South African tour for the first time and featured in the Global T20 Canada finals for the Surrey Jaguars on Sunday.
