- Amit Mishra 5-18 vs New Zealand, Vizag:
Veteran leg-spinner Amit Mishra had an absolute party against New Zealand in the series decider at Visakhapatnam in October. On a pitch that had quite a lot for the spinners, Mishra exploited the conditions fully as he spun a web around the Kiwi batsmen. In his six-over spell, Mishra conceded 18, picking up five wickets to demolish the visitors. Mishra was simply unplayable as his dynamic spell meant India wrapped up the game and series with a colossal margin of 190 runs. In that series, Mishra picked up 15 wickets and ended up being the Man of the Series.
