List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, formerly known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium,[1] is a sports ground in Bangalore, India that has hosted international cricket matches along with provincial games.[1] Named after M. Chinnaswamy, former President of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it is the home ground of the Karnataka cricket team and the Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore.[1][2] The ground has a capacity of 36,000 spectators for international matches.[1] It has hosted international cricket matches since its first Test match in 1974, between India and West Indies,[1] and has been home to twenty-two Test matches in total.[3] The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has also staged 24 One Day International (ODI) matches,[3] the first of which was in 1982 when India defeated Sri Lanka during the latter's 1982–83 tour of India.[1][4]

Bowlers have taken thirty-two five-wicket hauls in Tests, five fifers in One Day Internationals, and one five-wicket haul in T20I matches played at the ground.

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[5][6] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.[7] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was Bob Willis for England against India in 1977; he finished with bowling figures of 6 wickets for 53 runs.[8] India's Harbhajan Singh became the first and only cricketer till date to take two five-wicket hauls in the same match at this venue when he took 5 for 146 and 6 for 78 in the first and third innings of the first Test of the 2004–05 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia.[9] The best figures in Test cricket at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium are 8 for 50, taken by Australia's Nathan Lyon against India in March 2017.[9] The most recent five-wicket haul was taken in the same match by India's Ravichandran Ashwin with figures of six wickets for 41 runs.[9] As of March 2017, 26 bowlers have taken 33 Test match five-wicket hauls at this ground.[9]

As of 2017, five bowlers have taken ODI five-wicket hauls at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. India's Javagal Srinath was the first to take an ODI five-wicket haul at this ground when he took five wickets for 41 runs against England in 1993.[9] In the second innings, Paul Jarvis took five wickets for 35 runs as England won the match.[9] Yuvraj Singh's five wickets for 31 runs in a 2011 World Cup match against Ireland remains the most recent five-wicket haul and also the best bowling figures in ODI cricket at this ground.[9][10]

Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is the only bowler to have taken a five-wicket haul in a T20I match held at the ground, doing so against England on 1 February 2017.[11]
