Delhi: Former Indian leg -spinner Amit Mishra has retired from cricket. In his long career, he played under the leadership of many legendary captains, including MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, Suresh Raina, Anil Kumble and Virender Sehwag.

Not a single match played under Rohit’s captaincy

During an interview, Amit Mishra talked about the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. He told that even though he has never played under Rohit’s captaincy, he has played with him.

Amit Mishra said, “I have not played any match under Rohit’s captaincy, but have shared the dressing room with him. There is a difference between the captaincy of both Virat and Rohit – both of them are aggressiveness, the method of conversation with the players and the style of handling the team is different.”

Rohit calm, Virat is more zealous

Mishra told that the way of showing enthusiasm on the ground of both the captains is also different. The veteran spinner said, “Rohit Sharma is quite calm in the conversation, but shows aggression with his bat. At the same time, Virat Kohli is very energetic and zealous on the field. However, both the captains are very positive and always support the players.”

Never done pressure, just suggested

Amit Mishra also told that whether he was Rohit, Virat or Dhoni – no one tried to impose any decision on him. He said, “None of these three pressurized me. Everyone just suggested how to perform better. Their method was always cooperative.”

Most matches under Dhoni’s captaincy

Amit Mishra played a total of 68 matches for India and took 156 wickets. Of these, he played the highest 34 matches under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, in which he took 74 wickets. Virat Kohli was at number two, under whose captaincy Mishra took 56 wickets in 18 matches.

Last played for India in 2017

Amit Mishra last played a T20 match against England in Bengaluru on 1 February 2017 for India. At that time Virat Kohli was the captain of the team.
