I was frustrated many times: Amit Mishra recalls his India stint
Amit Mishra was quoted as saying by PTI, “It was a very disappointing thing. Sometimes you're in the team, sometimes you're out. Sometimes you get a chance in the playing eleven, sometimes you don't. Of course, it's frustrating, and I was frustrated many times, no doubt. Some players are the captain's favorites. But that doesn't matter much. You just have to prove yourself whenever you get a chance.”
Even earlier, Mishra had once claimed that Kohli was very different when he first came into the team, but his personality changed once he became captain. He had said that Kohli’s behavior and the way he interacted with his teammates completely changed when he became India's captain.
Meanwhile, Mishra recalled the IPL 2008 as the turning point of his career. Playing for Delhi Daredevils, the leg-spinner stunned everyone by taking a hat-trick, including the wickets of Shahid Afridi and Herschelle Gibbs, against Deccan Chargers.
Before the 2008 IPL season, he was consistently performing well in domestic cricket, taking 35-45 wickets every season, but couldn't get back into the Indian team. Since that hat trick earned him an India recall, he called it a “defining moment” of his career.
It was defining moment of my life: Amit Mishra
"After that hat-trick, I was back in the Indian team continuously, and my career in T-20 also started. So, that hat trick with five wickets in 2008 will be a defining moment of my life.”
