In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five–for" or "fifer") occurs when a bowler takes five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded by critics as a notable achievement, equivalent to a century from a batsman.

Pakistan's Umar Gul became the first bowler to achieve this feat after he took his first five-wicket haul in T20I in June 2009 since he took his first five-wicket haul in ODI in September 2003 and in Test in April 2004.

In 2018, India's Kuldeep Yadav became the only player who has taken a five-wicket haul in all three formats in the same year, receiving his T20I and ODI five-wicket haul in July against England and in October he took the five-wicket haul in Test against West Indies.

Men's international cricket

As of March 2023, only 12 male players have taken five-wicket hauls in all three international formats.^[1]
