Career edit

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]
