On his Test debut in 2008 in Mohali, Mishra marked his arrival with a five-wicket haul against Australia. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> In the IPL, Mishra built a reputation as one of the most reliable spin options across franchises. His 174 wickets in 162 matches put him among the competition&#8217;s all-time leading wicket-takers. He also holds a unique record as the only bowler with three IPL hat-tricks, achieved with Delhi Daredevils (2008), Deccan Chargers (2011) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (2013). <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> Announcing his decision, Mishra pointed to injuries and a desire to make space for the next generation. &#8220;Today, after 25 years, I announce my retirement from cricket, a game that has been my first love, my teacher, and my greatest source of joy. <\/p>\n<p class=\"cb-nws-para\"> &#8220;This journey has been filled with countless emotions, moments of pride, hardship, learning, and love. I am deeply grateful to the BCCI, Haryana Cricket Association, my coaches, support staff, colleagues, and most importantly, the fans, whose faith and support gave me strength at every step.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> \u00a9 Cricbuzz <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RETIREMENT NEWS Amit Mishra last played an international in 2017 but was active in the IPL and domestic&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-114921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
