In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") [1] [2] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement, especially in T20 cricket where a bowler can bowl a maximum of only 24 balls (4 overs). [3] [4] The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India, [5] which has been held annually since its first season in 2008. [6] So far, 34 five-wicket hauls have been taken by different bowlers, of which only two five-wicket hauls have been taken outside India. [7] Players from twelve of the thirteen teams have taken five-wicket hauls; Kochi Tuskers Kerala is the only franchise for which a player has not taken a five-wicket haul. [7]
The first five-wicket haul was taken by Sohail Tanvir of the Rajasthan Royals against the Chennai Super Kings on 4 May 2008. [9] He finished the game with 6 wickets. [7] The most economical five-wicket haul was taken by Akash Madhwal of the Mumbai Indians, who claimed five wickets with an economy rate of 1.43 in the 2023 season. [10] [11] Yuzvendra Chahal of the Rajasthan Royals took the least economical five-wicket haul, 5/40 bowling with an economy rate of 10.00 in 2021. Anil Kumble is the oldest bowler to take a five-wicket haul, achieving the feat at the age of 38, [12] while Jaydev Unadkat is the youngest, he was 21 when he took his first five-for in 2013. [13]
James Faulkner, Jaydev Unadkat, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Jasprit Bumrah are the only bowlers to take multiple five-wicket hauls in the IPL [10] Seven five-wickets hauls have been taken by players of the Mumbai Indians, which is more than any other team. [10] Sunrisers Hyderabad have had seven five-wicket hauls against them, the highest for any team. [14] Five five-wicket hauls have been taken at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, the most for a single venue. [7] Lakshmipathy Balaji, Andrew Tye and Jaydev Unadkat are the only bowlers to take a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul in the same match, later two achieving the feat during the 2017 season, whereas Alzarri Joseph and Tye are the only bowlers to take a five-wicket haul on their IPL debut.
The best bowling figures in an IPL match was taken by Alzarri Joseph of Mumbai Indians who returned figures of 6/12 on his debut at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad in 2019. [15] Two other bowlers have taken a six-wicket haul in IPL – Sohail Tanvir of Rajasthan Royals in 2008 and Adam Zampa of Rising Pune Supergiant in 2016. [16] [17]
