Here's a look at the bowlers who have taken five-wicket hauls in the IPL 2022 so far.
IPL is said to be a paradise for hard-hitting batsmen. We have witnessed over 80+ sixes being hit during this year's IPL so far and with this pace, we may witness 1000+ sixes by the end of this year's IPL. But then cricket is just not about batsmen every time, sometimes it's a bowlers day too in the IPL.
Last night in a game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc on KKR's batters as he went on to take his first five-wicket haul during this game and ended the game with his career-best figures. Let's have a look on the bowlers along with Jasprit Bumrah who have achieved this feat so far during this year's IPL.

After dismissing Aiden Markram, Hasaranga returned to have the wickets of Nicholas Pooran and Jagadeesha Suchith in successive overs. He then finished off his spell with a double-wicket maiden.
