Mishra last played for India, in a Test match, in 2011 when India were beaten 0-4 at England on their way to gaining the number one spot in Test cricket. However, he registered his highest Test score of 84 in the last Test. Mishra has been in and out of the ODI squads for a while but has not been able to make it to the Test squad again. He was thought to be Anil Kumble’s successor but has not been able to keep up his reputation.

After making his IPL debut with the Daredevils, Amit Mishra also plied his skills for the Deccan Chargers as well as the Sunrisers Hyderabad before returning to the Delhi-based franchise. He has amassed 134 wickets in the IPL thus far with a best of 5/17.
