Early life

Born in Mumbai, he moved to Kenya in 1994, at the age of 8.[1]

Career

In 2007, Mishra enrolled himself in an Indian University, and this prevented him from making any appearances for the Kenyan national side for the next three years.[2] He returned to the national team in 2010 October.[3]

Mishra was bought by the Deccan Chargers ahead of IPL 5, he has been signed as an 'Indian' as he has an Indian passport (India does not allow dual citizenship).[4] In the 2014 IPL players auction, he was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs. 10 lakhs.

In the domestic circle, he scored his first List A century in 2019, 13 years after he had played his first domestic one-day match.[5] His ton came in Tripura's 2019–20 Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Madhya Pradesh.

He played in the 2011 Cricket World Cup, scoring 133 runs in five matches. He was Kenya's second-highest scorer behind Collins Obuya.[6] He made his highest ODI score of 72 in the match against Australia, when he and Obuya put on 115 for the fourth wicket.[7]
