Five-wicket haul

From CruxPedia

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. It is considered a significant achievement and a mark of excellence for bowlers.

Five-wicket hauls are often highlighted in player statistics and records, and they frequently have a major impact on the outcome of a match. Bowlers who consistently take five-wicket hauls are highly regarded in the sport.
