'Kohli Promised to Call': Amit Mishra On India Snub
Mishra says Kohli told him to wait for an India update after rehabilitation, but repeated calls and messages brought no response.
- Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra revealed that captain Virat Kohli promised an update on his national team comeback after injury but failed to respond, leaving him without clarity on his prospects.
- Recalling the conversation, Mishra said Kohli told him, "Don't worry. Take your time, get fully fit, and you are there," while promising to provide an update within ten days.
- After recovering from injury, Mishra waited weeks before attempting contact, but his calls and messages went unanswered, prompting frustration over the lack of communication.
- Despite claiming 15 wickets against New Zealand in 2016, Mishra never regained momentum in the Indian side, making his final appearance against England in February 2017.
- Mahendra Singh Dhoni earlier helped Mishra manage pressure from comparisons to legendary spinner Anil Kumble, encouraging him to trust his natural bowling style and bowl more freely.
