India vs West Indies 2016: 5 players under the spotlight for India

4) Amit Mishra

It’s a big moment in Amit Mishra’s career

It’s do-or-die time for the 32 year old from Delhi. For so long he has been on the fringes of the Indian team, but this might just be his big break. Age should not be a concern for Mishra as leg spinners have the ability to go on and play for a number of years. He would be more focussed on creating an impression in this series and proving to be a match-winner. With the appointment of Anil Kumble as coach, Mishra should definitely benefit and get a crack at establishing himself as the number one leg spinner in the country. He faces a battle before the first ball is bowled, a battle to make it to the playing XI. His performance in the first warm-up game surely helped but he will need another performance to lock in a place in the starting XI.
