The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not only known for explosive batting but also for excellent bowling. It is considered very difficult for a bowler to take 5 wickets in T20 format, because batsmen always enter the field with the intention of playing aggressively. In such a situation, the bowlers who accomplish this feat have the ability to change the outcome of their team’s match. Know who is the bowler who has taken the most 5 wickets in an innings..

James Faulkner

Australia’s James Faulkner created his own dominance in the IPL. Playing for many teams including Rajasthan Royals, he took five wickets in an innings twice. His best figure was 5/16. Faulkner’s specialty was his slower balls and deceptive line-length, which confused the batsmen many times.

Jaydev Unadkat

Experienced Indian bowler Jaydev Unadkat played for many teams but wherever he went, he maintained his ability to take wickets. He achieved the feat of taking five wickets twice in IPL. His best performance was 5/25. Even though his economy rate was a bit high, his strike rate and wicket-taking ability always made him a useful bowler for the team.

Jasprit Bumrah

Mumbai Indians star Jasprit Bumrah is considered one of the most lethal bowlers in IPL history. His yorkers, precise lines and neck-hitting bouncers spoil the batsmen’s game. Bumrah has also taken five wickets twice in the IPL, with his best performance being 5/10, which is considered to be one of the most lethal spells in the league.

mark wood

Apart from these, Mark Wood is also a part of this special club and his name appears twice in this list. Wood, known for his speed at the international level, performed brilliantly while playing for two different teams in the IPL. Be it his spell of 5/19 or 5/14 for CSK, Wood has left his mark with his pace and pace.
