AMIT Mishra played with big names like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambir, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Surav Ganguly, among others, at the start of the Indian team.
He expressed having a good link with some of them and even praised Sachin for giving him tips while he was playing in the nets. Mishra played in three different decades, from the time of Sachin to Mrs. Dhoni then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
