Amit Mishra would have played significantly more International games if he wasn’t born in the same era as Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh. Mishra, a conventional attacking leg spinner who relies on flight, has a big leg-break and sharp googly, has everything in his arsenal.Apart from International career that never really picked off, Mishra is a force to reckon with in the Indian domestic circuit and IPL. Mishra has the most hat-tricks in the IPL, and that too for three different franchises – Delhi Daredevils (2008), Deccan Chargers (2011) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (2013).
