Mishra, who made his ODI debut for Kenya in 2006 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo, recalled his a gritty 72 runs knock against Australia in 2011 World Cup match at Chinnaswamy.
Mishra, in company with Collins Obuya, had shared a 115-run partnership after Kenya suffered early jolts while chasing a 325-run target set by Australia. Kenya lost the match who could score 264 in 50 overs.
"To be very honest even in 2007 when Afro-Asia Cup was introduced, I had captained the T20 squad. That was my first fond memories of Chinnaswamy stadium," he added.
