A five-wicket haul has been claimed as many as 36 times in the history of IPL – in this quiz, you’ll have to name all the bowlers who have managed it across the seasons. Can you?
Irrespective of the format, a five-wicket haul is no mean feat. Claiming it in a T20 game, given the four-over cap, is a rare and distinguished milestone. That said, in the IPL, there have been a fair few of those, with as many as four of them coming in the 2011 edition alone.
As clues, player names, their respective teams, opponents against whom they took five-wicket hauls, along with match figures and the year of performance are given.
Can you name the players to reach those heights? You have a good six minutes on the timer.
Please note: 'DC' represents both Deccan Chargers (defunct after 2012) and Delhi Capitals (renamed in 2019). For clarity, all 'DC' abbreviations in this list before 2019 refer to Deccan Chargers.
