A classical leg spinner, Mishra made his ODI debut against England in 2001 but faded away soon before a highly successful stint with Daredevils in the inaugural IPL brought him back to national reckoning. Mishra emerged as the surprise package for Daredevils, who reached the semi-final of the IPL. Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag showed immense faith in Mishra even handling him the ball at critical moments of the game. With a vast experience of first class cricket, Mishra handled the pressure with poise and grit proving his captain right. He also has a hat trick in the IPL. The IPL stint earned him a Test cap and made a memorable debut against Australia in Mohali last year, becoming only the sixth Indian to take a five-wicket haul on debut.
