So he&#39;ll definitely be an aggressive type of captain I think in the way he sets fields, and I think you&#39;ll see a lot different to what Dhoni did.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Johnson also noted that Kohli was a extremely competitive individual.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;He&#39;s an interesting character. He is a fierce competitor and he really does like to get involved in it all.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">India&#39;s previous captain Dhoni, in comparison, preferred a more composed approach and asked the teams to &quot;tone down&quot; the verbal barbs during his last press conference as India skipper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">But Johnson expects a change in mentality , irrespective of the opposition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It doesn&#39;t matter who he plays against, he plays in your face and that is how he likes to play the game,&quot; Johnson said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">The 33-year-old pacer said he expected the on-field chatter to continue at Sydney.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s just harmless stuff, that&#39;s out there. There&#39;s a lot of talk out in the media at the moment as bad sledging and pretty full on stuff but it&#39;s all pretty harmless,&quot; the Queenslander said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Virat&#39;s just been telling us how many runs he&#39;s scored and we&#39;ve just been saying we&#39;re two nil up in the series so that&#39;s pretty much it. It&#39;s always been part of the game and always will be.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
