Amit Mishra (pronunciationⓘ; born 24 November 1982) is a former Indiancricketer. He is a right-armleg-break bowler and right-handed tail-ender batsman. He plays forHaryana in the domesticRanji Trophy and for the T20 franchiseLucknow Super Giants in theIndian Premier League. He has representedIndia in Test, ODIs and T20s. Mishra was a member of the Indian team that won the2013 ICC Champions Trophy.
Mishra was initially called into the Indian squad for a Test against theWest Indies in 2002, but was not selected. Mishra made hisTest cricket debut against Australia in the Second Test at Mohali (PCA stadium) after captain and first-choice leg spinnerAnil Kumble was injured. He took 5 wickets for 71 runs in Australia's first innings and then 2/35 in the second, making him the leading wicket-taker in the match as India proceeded to a decisive victory.[1] Despite this, Indian coachGary Kirsten said that Mishra would be dropped if Kumble recovered for the Third Test. However,Harbhajan Singh was injured so Mishra retained his place when Kumble came in. Kumble was then injured during the Test and retired, leaving Mishra as India's first-choice Test leg spinner.
Mishra was selected for the early-2009 Test tour of New Zealand, but India opted to field only one spinner, and he watched as Harbhajan performed the spin duties alone. India's next Test was not until November 2009. Mishra took only one wicket in the high-scoring drawn First Test and was dropped for the Second Test in favour ofleft arm orthodox spinnerPragyan Ojha, who retained his position for the Third Test as the second spinner.
Mishra was recalled for the tour of Bangladesh and played in the First Test in Chittagong as the only spinner after Harbhajan suffered an injury. He made 50 in the second innings as a night-watchman and took seven wickets. However, he was once again dropped in the next Test for Ojha.
Later in theIndia's tour of England in 2011 he got his highest score ever in the last test match of 84. Mishra was included in the squad forIndia's 2016 tour of West Indies. He played two tests and picked up six wickets.
Mishra made hisOne Day International (ODI) debut againstSouth Africa during the TVS Cup in 2003. Mishra played in the2009 ICC Champions Trophy inSouth Africa.
At the start of theBangladesh tour, Mishra played in two ODIs againstSri Lanka andBangladesh in a triangular tournament after Harbhajan was rested for the final two round-robin matches. He has been recalled for one day series against Zimbabwe July 2013. He won man of the match award for his 4/47 bowling against Zimbabwe in 3rd ODI played on 28 July 2013.
Mishra managed to get most wickets by any bowler in a 5-match series or tournament against Zimbabwe July 2013. The spinner also equalled Indian bowling greatJavagal Srinath's world record for the most wickets in a bilateral ODI series with 18 wickets. Srinath managed his feat in 7 matches so Mishra equaled the record in fewer matches.
Mishra was selected in the 2nd XI of the 2014 ICC World T20 Cup by ESPNcricinfo.[2]
