List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Muttiah Muralitharan
In cricket, a five-wicket haul—also known as a five–for or fifer[1]—refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement;[2] only five bowlers have taken more than 30 five-wicket hauls in their Test cricketing careers.[3] Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan has the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket,[3] and also the second-highest number of five-wicket hauls in One Day Internationals (ODI).[4] He did not take any five-wicket hauls in a Twenty20 International,[5] where his best bowling figures were 3 wickets for 29 runs.[6] One of the most experienced bowlers in international cricket, Muralitharan is the leading wicket taker in both Tests[7] and ODIs.[8] He was declared as the "best bowler ever" in Test cricket by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack in 2002,[9] and the Sri Lankan team depended heavily on the off spinner for wickets.[10]
Muralitharan is well ahead of other bowlers by number of five-wicket hauls in Tests with 67 to his name; Australian cricketer Shane Warne ranks in second place with 37.[3] Making his Test debut in 1992,[11] Muralitharan took his first five-wicket haul a year later against South Africa. He performed this feat against every other Test playing nation. He went on to take ten or more wickets per match on 22 occasions—also a world record—while Shane Warne ranks second, having achieved this on 10 occasions.[12] His career best is 9 wickets for 51 runs against Zimbabwe, which ranks as the world's fifth-best figures in an innings.[13] He was most successful against Bangladesh and South Africa, with 11 five-wicket hauls against each team. Fourteen of Muralitharan's five-wicket hauls were taken at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground (SSC) in Colombo, Sri Lanka.[14] He retired from Test cricket in July 2010, capturing his 67th and final five-wicket haul during his last match.[15]
In ODIs, Muralitharan is ranked second in number of five-wicket hauls to Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis.[4] He played his first ODI in 1993,[16] and took his first ODI five-wicket haul in 1998 against Pakistan. He repeated this performance against seven different opponents.[17] His career best of 7 wickets for 30 runs is the fourth-best bowling figures in ODI history.[18]
