Eden Gardens is a cricket ground in Kolkata, India. It is the home of the Bengal cricket team and the Indian Premier League's Kolkata Knight Riders, as well as being a Test and One Day International ground. It has a capacity of 90,000. The ground has held Test matches since 1934 and hosted its first One Day International in 1987. [1]
In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") [2] [3] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. [4] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at Eden Gardens was Dattu Phadkar for India against Pakistan in 1952. Australia's Richie Benaud became the first to take two five-wicket hauls in the same match at Eden Gardens, when he took 6 for 52 and 5 for 53 in the second and fourth innings of the third Test of Australia's 1956–57 tour of India. As of December 2019, 44 Test match five-wicket hauls have occurred at the ground.
Three bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls during ODIs at Eden Gardens. The first player to do so was Allan Donald of South Africa, who achieved the feat when he took 5 wickets for 29 runs against India in 1991. The second five-wicket haul was made by India's Anil Kumble, which is also the best figures in ODI cricket at this ground. He took 6 for 12 against the West Indies in 1993. The most recent was by Ravindra Jadeja against South Africa during the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman is the only bowler to have taken a five-wicket haul in a T20I match held at the ground, doing so against New Zealand during the 2016 ICC World Twenty20.
