In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement, especially in T20 cricket where a bowler can bowl a maximum of only 24 balls (4 overs). The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India, which has been held annually since its first season in 2008. In the thirteen seasons played, twenty-one five-wicket hauls have been taken by different bowlers, only two five-wicket hauls have been taken outside India. Players from eleven of the thirteen teams have taken five-wicket hauls; Pune Warriors India and Kochi Tuskers Kerala are the only franchises for which a player has not taken a five-wicket haul.
