Indian bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar are often mentioned for achieving five-wicket hauls across all international formats. Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. Achievements like these are considered special because performing consistently in every format requires different skills and adaptability.

Test cricket demands patience, ODIs require control, and T20 cricket needs variation under pressure. Indian fast bowling overall has improved massively in the last decade compared to earlier eras when spin bowling dominated more discussions. Honestly, modern Indian bowling attacks are now considered among the strongest in world cricket

Yesterday, fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has added another feather to his cap and became the first Indian bowler to take a five-wicket haul in all three formats in international cricket.After a stunning Test series, both with the bat and with the ball, Bhuvneshwar had a cold ODI series picking just two wickets. But on Sunday T-20 match against South Africa he again proved that why he is called knuckle bowl specialist by dismissing South Africa's top order in the third over of their innings.

 

With 5/24, Bhuvneshwar bagged career-best figures in T20Is and also made history to become thefirst Indian bowler to bag a five-wicket haul in all the three formats of the game. He has four five-wicket hauls in Test cricket and one each in ODIs and T20Is. Other international bowlers who had claimed a similar mark are -Umar Gul, Tim Southee, Ajantha Mendis, Lasith Malinga, and Imran Tahir.
