Wanindu Hasaranga has held the edge over Sanju Samson for a while now. When India toured Sri Lanka last year, Sanju Samson was not able to read the leg-spinner clearly. Hence, he lost his wickets on multiple occasions. This repeated again on Tuesday as the Rajasthan Royals captain lost his wicket to the Royal Challengers Bangalore bowler. Keeping this in context, veteran Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra had a piece of interesting information about his career. In this article, we take a look at Amit Mishra reveals the name of the star batter whom he has dismissed the most.
Amit Mishra reveals the batter whom he is most successful against
The former Delhi Capitals lead spinner went unsold at the IPL 2022 Mega-Auctions. Since then, the player has been very active on social media. He has left many impressed with his thoughts and impressions about the game. Now, he has revealed that the most successful IPL captain Rohit Sharma is the player whom he has dismissed the most number of times.
Amit Mishra first took Rohit’s wicket when the latter was with Deccan Chargers in 2009. For the next six occasions, the player has collected Rohit’s scalp when he was with Mumbai Indians. The latest occasion of this occurrence was in IPL 2021 when Amit had picked up a four-wicket haul.
Samson fell to Hasaranga for fourth time in overall five innings.
Do you know whom I have dismissed the most number of times?

The most successful Indian bowler in IPL
While the likes of Dwayne Bravo and Lasith Malinga lead the charts of highest wicket-takers in IPL, when it comes to the Indians, it is Amit Mishra who stands at the top of the list. The player has collected 166 wickets in 154 games so far at an average of 23.95 and an economy of 7.35. It is unfortunate that he could not get a long run with Team India. He is a traditional leg-spinner and had to face competition from the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin to take the spot in Team India.
