List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Ravichandran Ashwin (original) (raw)

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement, and as of February 2021 only 49 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers. Ravichandran Ashwin – a right-arm off break bowler – is a Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) cricketer who represents the India national cricket team. In a 2016 interview, former Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muralitharan described Ashwin as the "best current Test spinner". As of March 2021, Ashwin has taken 30 five-wicket hauls in international cricket; he ranks tenth in the all-time list, and second among his countrymen.
