Top 5 Indian wicket-takers in West Indies

#4 Amit Mishra

Mishra Ji has found it difficult to cement his place in the Indian team

Another bowler from the capital region of India, Amit Mishra is fourth on the list with 11 wickets. What makes Mishra’s achievement stand out amongst the rest is that he has played the least number of matches. He has taken as many wickets as Ishant in half as many matches.

An impressive strike rate of 27.2 coupled with a fantastic economy rate of 3.98 and a miserly average of 18.09 are indicators of the value the leggie brings to the team. His best of 4/31 was a match-winning spell.

However, the Indians have always preferred Ashwin and Jadeja as their two front line spinners which did not help the 34-year-old Mishra’s cause.
