In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer")[1][2] occurs when a bowler takes five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded by critics as a notable achievement.[3]

Taking a five-wicket haul at Lord's earns the bowler a place on the Lord's honours boards.[4]

Records[edit]

As of 2021, only nine cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul in all three international formats of the game (Test cricket, One Day International and Twenty20 International): Sri Lankans Ajantha Mendis and Lasith Malinga, Indians Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav, New Zealander Tim Southee, South African Imran Tahir, Bangladeshi Shakib Al Hasan, Pakistani Umar Gul.[5] and Afghan Rashid Khan

In 2018, Afghan cricketer Mujeeb Zadran, aged 16, became the youngest bowler to take a five-wicket haul in an ODI.[6] In 2019, Pakistani cricketer Naseem Shah, also aged 16, became the youngest bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match.[7] Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan is the youngest bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a T20 international match; he was 18 at the time.[8]

Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan has taken the most five-wicket hauls in Test matches with 67,[9] and Pakistani Waqar Younis has taken the most five-wicket hauls in ODIs with 13.[10] The record for most five-wicket hauls in T20Is is two, which has been achieved by seven cricketers.[11]
