Amit Mishra has had a successful IPL career so far

T20 cricket brought a new lease of life for the spinners and especially leg-spinners. The wristy magicians have been dominant in all the T20 leagues and Amit Mishra leads the way in the IPL. In 136 matches, Mishra has dismissed 146 batsmen. He is also the only bowler to have taken three hat-tricks in the tournament.

It is far challenging for a leg-spinner to bowl a maiden, but Mishra has managed to bowl a maiden over on six occasions in the IPL. No other spinner has bowled more maiden overs than him. The leggie has represented Delhi Daredevils, Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
