Indian Bowlers With Most 5-Wicket Hauls In India

Indian bowlers are one of a kind. Batsmen who didn’t have a bowling competition are troubled with Indian bowlers. In Test cricket, Indian bowlers have a good record of taking wickets. Some of them even have five-wicket hauls.

Legendary players like Anil Kumble have taken five wickets in one innings a few times. Spinners are more dangerous on home soil compared to pacers.
