Amit Mishra reveals depression after being dropped from Indian cricket team

Amit Mishra has spoken about his struggles with depression following his exclusion from the Indian cricket team. The former leg-spinner faced an 18-month period of questioning his abilities after initially making his international debut in 2003 but soon finding himself out of favor. A conversation with a selector prompted him to focus on his domestic performance rather than fixate on his national ambitions. This shift in mindset helped Mishra return to the Indian team in 2008, where he played 68 international matches across various formats.
