While the game of cricket has somehow always revolved around the batsmen, whenever a bowler comes up with a fierce spell, the spotlight shifts on him that instant and the player goes on take his name on the elite list of bowling records.
On the other hand, while every day we see a new batting record being made or broken with critics highlighting their importance, new bowling records are rare in comparison and this is why they are even more special.
With the introduction of T20 cricket, a new approach towards the has unearthed which has everything to do with going big with the bat on almost every delivery you face. While this has turned out to be a nightmare for bowlers, it has also given them a chance to attack and grab wickets to slow down the momentum of the handle bearers.
That said, with three formats in the game of cricket, just like batsmen, bowlers too have to change their approach towards the game in every format and there seldom comes a bowler who manages to become a life savior for the team, irrespective of the format he is playing in.
There goes a saying which says, ‘While batsmen set up a match, it’s the bowlers who will win you the game’.
On that note, here we take a look at the bowlers who have taken 5-wicket hauls in each format of the game.

While Tim Southee’s only five-wicket haul in T20I came against Pakistan in 2010 at Auckland, where he claimed figures of 5-18, he has 6 five-wicket hauls in Test cricket and 2 in One Day Internationals.
Imran Tahir, South Africa
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
When it comes to bowling records, a 5-wicket haul is a rare phenomenon in itself but these cricketers are among the handful of bowlers who fall in an elite league having picked up at least one 5-wicket hauls in all three formats of the game (Tests, ODIs, and T20Is).
