IND vs AUS 2nd ODI: Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson took to his official Instagram handle on Saturday to share details about his hilarious encounter with an ardent cricket fan. The 41-year-old revealed that the young fan requested him to take a selfie on his phone, upon meeting the legendary pace at the airport.

At the same time, live-action shifted to the YS Raja Reddy Cricket Stadium in Vishakapatnam on Sunday for the 2nd ODI of the series.
