Ravindra Jadeja Becomes 7th Indian Bowler to Take a 5-For in World Cup History

Ravindra Jadeja's incredible 5/33 came in India's Men's ODI World Cup match vs South Africa at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Nov 5, 2023. He became the seventh Indian bowler to score a five-for, bettering Kapil Dev's 5/43 record.

Jadeja took crucial wickets of Temba Bavuma, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada. His knock helped get the South Africans bowled-out for just 83 in a 243-run rout.

Here are the 6 other Indian bowlers, including Shami, who have had 5-wicket hauls in Men's ODI World Cup, prior to Jadeja.

His 5/18 vs Sri Lanka at the 2023 ODI World Cup is the second best figure by an Indian, following Nehra. Shami is the only Indian bowler with 3 fifers in ODI World Cup history.
