![Ravichandran Ashwin](../I/m/Ravichandran_Ashwin_(cropped).jpg)
In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "fifer"[1]) refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement,[2] and as of October 2016 only 45 bowlers have taken 15 or more five-wicket hauls at international level in their cricketing careers.[3] 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".[4] As of October 2016, Ashwin has taken 22 five-wicket hauls in international cricket;[3] he ranks joint 19th in the all-time list,[lower-alpha 1] and fourth among his countrymen.[lower-alpha 2]
Ashwin made his Test debut in November 2011 against the West Indies. He took nine wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in the second innings. India won the match and his performance earned him a man of the match honour.[5] His career-best figures of seven wickets for 59 runs came against New Zealand in October 2016, and in the process he became the fifth bowler to take six five-wicket hauls against them.[lower-alpha 3] He has picked up ten or more wickets in a match on six occasions.[7] Ashwin made his ODI and T20I debuts in June 2010 against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, respectively. His four wickets for 25 runs against the United Arab Emirates in the 2015 World Cup remain his best in ODIs,[8] while his four wickets for 8 runs against Sri Lanka is a record for India in T20Is.[9]
