Amit Mishra birthday: Bhajji's hilarious wish for the spinner on his 38th birthday

In a hilarious birthday wish for his former spin partner, Harbhajan Singh wrote that he would "wish to see" Amit Mishra married this year. Very little is known about Mishra with regard to his personal life. Mishra has six siblings and lives in Delhi with his family. He has been linked with Vandana Jain, the co-owner of the Bengal Tigers franchise in the CCL. In 2015, Mishra was arrested after Jain alleged physical violence and assault but was released on bail.

Amit Mishra career 

Amit Mishra is the only bowler to have taken hat-tricks as a part of three different IPL teams. In 2013, he became the first person to take three hat-tricks in the IPL. He is also the second-highest wicket-taker in the league's history with 160 wickets to his name. He is preceded by Lasith Malinga, who has taken 170 wickets in the league. Mishra has been a part of the Delhi IPL outfit since 2015 and has played for the Deccan Chargers as well as the Hyderabad squad.

Mishra made his one-day international debut in 2003 under current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. Mishra's Test debut has the most tenuous connection to Harbhajan Singh as well. Mishra made his Test debut in 2008 against Australia after Anil Kumble was ruled out due to injury. Despite bagging five wickets on his debut, then Indian coach Gary Kirsten said that Mishra would be dropped if Kumble recovered. However, Mishra retained his place in the team after Harbhajan Singh suffered an injury and was ruled out of the next Test.
