Abhimanyu Mithun batted at No. 11 in the first innings, but after looking more solid than his fellow bowlers, he was promoted to No. 9 in the second innings and scored 25. He proved that he certainly has some potential with the bat and can become a seam bowling all-rounder in future.
Abhimanyu Mithun was a discus thrower, competing at state-level. Despite training at his father`s gym throughout his teens, he failed to progress with his discus throwing, and a friend suggested that he join a cricket camp. Until the age of 17, he had not bowled with a leather ball. The coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore Ray Jennings eulogised about him, describing him as an "express bowler", but he had a quiet Indian Premier League. His first-class debut reinvigorated the potential. There he claimed six wickets in the first innings, followed by five wickets in the second, including a hat-trick. During the ensuing season, he displayed his credentials, claiming another five-wicket haul, and taking 47 wickets to finish as the highest wicket-taker in the 2009-2010 Ranji Trophy.
