RSSMishra’s Dreams Getting Cherished
 |
Gautam Gambhir gives the brand new ball a big rip between the fingers as he begins the run-up, a bubbling side-on approach that preludes a big pivot on the delivery stride, and lets off a classic leg-break aiming the wicket of the opposite batsman. On the other side at the wicket is Amit Mishra, his close friend who is busy preparing for the forthcoming England Test series, and the excitement at the Bharat Nagar Cricket Academy in West Delhi, is palpable.
Mishra seems like a man on to his new mission.
Mishra’s responsibilities as an Indian team regular have certainly brought in a few changes and experiments. But beyond the seven-wicket Test debutant and an IPL hat-trick hero has a story of a 26-year old who is now fulfilling his dream, commitments and living his greatest moments in life. For him, everything originated on the cricket field but seeped into his social obligations. This is the young boy who once requested his coach Sanjay Bharadwaj for that elusive hardbound school games certificate that could get him to a Class IV employee’s job with the Railways to being the latest rage within Team India. This leg-spinner has always measured success by his ability with an aim of improving the standard of living for his family.
Amit Mishra recalls his life in a one-bedroom flat with four brothers and three sisters sharing space. He had a childhood, when he had to go for practice without money to even buy a bus ticket. But the life made him more determined, to sweat extra hours to make it big in cricket. He says that it was his dream to play for India, which could bring him money that will help in getting his sisters married off in a grand manner. Now Mishra stays in a two rented floors in Patel Nagar. Mishra says that Cricket has brought him fame and money. But now he targets to reach new heights in career.
