In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[7][8] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[9] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at Brabourne Stadium was Prior Jones in 1949, for the West Indies against India. The first Indian to take a five-wicket haul in a Test at the Brabourne was Vinoo Mankad, who did so in a game against Pakistan in 1952. B. S. Chandrasekhar is the only bowler to have taken two five-wicket hauls in Test matches at the ground, doing so against the West Indies in 1966 and against England in 1973.[10] Chandrasekhar is also the only bowler to have taken ten wickets in a match at Brabourne, he took eleven wickets against the West Indies in 1966.[11] Twelve bowlers have taken thirteen five-wicket hauls at the ground.[12] Sri Lankan bowler Farveez Maharoof's five wicket haul against the West Indies in 2006, is the only one achieved during an ODI.[13][14] Khaleel Ahmed's three wickets for thirteen runs in a ODI versus West Indies in 2018 are the best figures by an Indian at the ground in the fifty over format.[13] The best bowling figures in the only T20I staged at the ground featuring India and Australia in 2007 are Irfan Pathan's two wickets for thirty-four runs.[15]
