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.
[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.
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.
[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.
The list does not cover the games played by the IPL teams in other tournaments, such as the Champions League Twenty20, the British Asian Cup or the 2008 Kolkata Knight Riders tour of Australia.
