Amit Mishra Alleges Virat Kohli Ignored Him After Injury Comeback Assurances
Former India leg-spinner Amit Mishra accused captain Virat Kohli of breaking promises and ignoring his calls and messages after an injury in 2017. Mishra said both then-coach Anil Kumble and Kohli assured him of a comeback once fully fit, but Kohli stopped responding after Mishra recovered. Mishra expressed disappointment over the lack of clarity and questioned why other injured players were recalled while he was not. He shared these details during a conversation with former opener Aakash Chopra.
