The incident caught the attention of social media and became a hot topic. While it was clear that Johnson’s actions were wrong, the Australian media has defended his actions. In a report, a renowned media house claimed that Pathan was sledging the women umpire which is why Johnson took a stand against it. Meanwhile, Capitals skipper Gautam Gambhir has condemned his teammates’ actions. In an interaction, the former was asked about the actions of Johnson. He said that it is not acceptable at all. He added that there is no harm in having a verbal volley but having a physical confrontation is complete no-2.
