Chankesh Rao

Taking five wickets in five balls is no ordinary feat, but there are three bowlers who have achieved this remarkable milestone.

The first name on the list is Neil Wagner, hailing from New Zealand.

Wagner took five wickets in five balls during the 2013 Plunket Shield Tournament.

Following Wagner, Amin Hossain of Bangladesh achieved this record.

Amin Hossain took five wickets in five balls during the 2013 Victory Day T20 Cup.

The third bowler to achieve such a remarkable feat is Abhimanyu Mithun from India.

Abhimanyu Mithun took five wickets in just five balls against Haryana in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Mithun has played international cricket for India, but he has not been given many opportunities in the national team.

Abhimanyu has played only 4 Test matches and 5 ODI matches for India so far.
