David Jude Johnson pronunciation (born 16 October 1971) was an Indian former cricketer who was primarily a fast-medium bowler and a useful lower order batsman. He played in two Test matches in 1996, taking three wickets. He became the fastest bowler India have ever produced when he managed to clock 157.8 km/h to dismiss Michael Slater during Australia's tour of India in 1996. It is believed his tenure in international cricket were cut short due to his lack of control.

Johnson Passed Away in June 20 2024[1] as he jumped from 4th floor of a private apartment.

Career

He made his Test debut against Australia in the one-off Test at the Ferozshah Kotla and then went on the tour of South Africa but got to play only in the first Test. Often considered as a wayward bowler not having good control, his international career came to an end quickly.
