Amit Mishra arrived to international cricket very late but he arrived with a bang as he claimed a five-wicket haul in his debut innings. Playing for Haryana, Mishra established himself as an accurate leg-spinner during the 2000s in India's domestic cricket.

However, the presence of Kumble and Harbhajan meant, Mishra had to wait for his chances. Kumble's retirement brought Mishra in the limelight but his erratic performances and failure in overseas matches resulted in his omission from the Test team.

The leg-spinner then focused on the shorter format of the game and has emerged as a quality T20 bowler. He has more than 200 wickets in T20s and is a has created a reputation for himself in the IPL.

Mishra still is in the reckoning and has chances of making a comeback in the Indian Test team courtesy of his improved bowling and matured thinking.
