Complete IPL 5-Wicket Hauls List

Since the tournament’s inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has only got better by the year and each edition, we are mind-blown with some stunning individual as well as team efforts. On this page, we’re covering some of the better bowling performances to have been witnessed over the years in the IPL history, since there’s not enough importance given to bowlers in this batsman’s game of T20 cricket.

List of All IPL 5-Fers Ever Taken

We already have an extensive list of all the batsmen to have scored a century in the history of the IPL and in this particular post, we’re going to present to you an extensive IPL 5-wicket hauls list. Five wickets aren’t as frequent as centuries because of the fact that bowlers are allowed only 4 overs in the T20 format, so each one on this list must surely have been a super special performance in the IPL.

Of the 15 franchises to have played in the IPL, 12 teams had their bowlers picking 5-fers over the years and the only three not to do so are the now defunct Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala franchises. All stats are updated 29th March 2024, and you can see below for our in-depth and complete IPL 5-wicket hauls list:

Talking about the youngest to achieve this milestone, we have Jaydev Unadkat who first got an IPL 5-fer when he was only 21 years old. As for those new to the tournament, the best figures on IPL debut were by West Indian Alzarri Joseph who picked 6/12 on debut at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad in IPL 2019. Anil Kumble is the oldest to have an IPL 5-fer, reaching that milestone at the age of 38 years!
