Most 5 Wickets Scored in a Single Innings – Individual Bowling Cricket Records and Statistics

A 5-wicket haul would serve as the standard by which all other bowlers in ODI cricket are evaluated. If they were to reach that level, they would rank among the best bowlers in ODI cricket. However, these 10 players rank in the top 10 in this game for 5-wicket hauls. Having one 5-wicket haul is seen as a virtue, but these players went above that and above to win their games by capturing the most wickets possible during each of their matches. The greatest bowlers in history will be discussed.

Most 5 Wickets Taken by a Bowler in a Single Innings:

Muttiah Muralitharan

With a total of 67, Muralitharan leads all bowlers in five-wicket hauls in Test matches; Shane Warne of Australia is in second place with 37. The spinner with the most five-wicket hauls is Muttiah Muralidharan. In ten ODI matches, Muralidharan has claimed five wickets. The seasoned spinner from Sri Lanka has the illustrious record for the most wickets in ODI cricket history. The bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Tests and across all forms is Muralitharan, who tops the list.

Waqar Younis

Former Pakistani cricketer and bowler WAQAR YOUNIS, who holds the record for the most 5-wicket hauls in a single game as well as for his bowling prowess in ODI cricket, is the top performer on this list. Over the course of his career, which spanned from 1989 to 2003, he collected a total of 13 five-wicket hauls. In ODI cricket, his best bowling line was a 7/36.

Shahid Afridi

The only other all-arounder on this list is SHAHID AFRIDI, a former cricket player who is presently ranked fourth. Over the course of his career, which spanned from 1996 to 2015, he amassed nine five-wicket hauls. His best ODI performance ever established a new standard for his exceptional bowling abilities.

Brett Lee 

Brett Lee was a successful representative of extreme speed for more than ten years, although falling short of the all-encompassing success necessary to be acknowledged as a true Test great. He was the fourth most productive Australian bowler with 310 wickets in 76 games. He moved quickly and had a smile that gave him a famous-looking appearance. He played a tough supporting role for Jason Gillespie and Glenn McGrath for the bulk of his career despite suffering numerous injuries. Over the course of his last two years, he was a highly reliable assault leader in five-day events, to the extent of his physical limitations.

Mitchell Starc

Johnson came first, then Starc. Left-armer for more than ten years, Mitchell has been a cornerstone of Australia’s offence, and it looks like he will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Johnson was more honest, but Starc has better swing control than his old friend and is still quick enough to present a challenge for opposing batters because to the bounce his 1.96m height provides. Never was it more evident than during the 2015 World Cup, when Starc made himself unplayable throughout the game by rattling stumps and trapping batsmen in front. Given that he had 22 victims at 10.18, it is hardly surprise that he was chosen as Player of the Tournament. Later, four years later, he would take 27 wickets.

Lasith Malinga

When he was at his best, Lasith Malinga was one of the finest bowlers in the history of cricket’s limited overs. He was known for his strong and unusual round-arm motion when throwing in swinging yorkers. The body of Malinga’s menace consisted of the yorker, a slower, trickier ball, and an excellent bouncer, and the motion made it challenging to predict his deliveries. His street smarts immensely assisted all of Malinga’s skills; he was never afraid to alter his ideas or level the playing field. Malinga could still surprise batsmen even when they believed they were prepared.
