Mishra had represented Delhi formerly known as Delhi Daredevils from 2008-to 2010. He then came back to the franchise in 2015 and went on to feature for them till the 2021 season. The leggie was the second-most successful bowler in IPL history and now occupies the third position with 166 scalps to his name from 154 matches averaging 23.97 and an economy of 7.35. He is just behind the Caribbean all-rounder Dwayne Bravo and the iconic Sri Lankan speedster Lasith Malinga who have picked up 167 and 170 wickets respectively.

With Amit Mishra not featuring in the 2022 season, his wait to lead the IPL bowling charts prolongs and it remains to be seen whether DC does have something in store for him in the future.
