#1 He is difficult to pick
Mishra is quite adept at disguising his deliveries. He does bowl the legspinner and the faster one with a different grip but still, batsmen fail to pick him.
Also, his googly is quite the same. Obviously, he bowls it from the back of the hand like traditional leg-spinners do but the action is almost the same and thus it becomes difficult to read sometimes.
The 34-year-old is also fast of the pitch and therefore picking him off it is another difficult proposition for the batters.
Also what adds to his weight on the team is he is no mug with the bat and can use the long handle when required.
