Amit Mishra’s story is the same as that of Wasim Jaffer. He was overshadowed by the rise of Ravi Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, very much similar to Jaffer as his contributions were overlooked by fans because Sehwag was at his prime. Few people will realize the fact that Mishra is the second-highest wicket-taker in the history of the league with 160 wickets. He has been a stalwart in this format for any franchise he has played. 

Amit Mishra has played in 151 IPL matches so far. With such a high wicket tally and an excellent economy rate of 7.35, he can fox the batsmen with his variations and the best part about Mishra is that he has control over his line and length. But unfortunately, he has not been able to make it into the national squad regularly. 

Mishra has played only 10 T20Is so far. But, he has a good economy rate of 6.32. The only reason he has not been able to retain his place is because of his abetting abilities. As T20 cricket grew as a batsman’s game, the need for all-rounders increased. Hence, as he was never a regular member of the national squad and has not won the world cup.
