7 bowlers to take 5-wicket-hauls in all three formats 

Kudeep Yadav became the newest minted member to the club

#4 Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Tests: 5, ODIs: 1, and T20Is: 1)

South Africa v India - T20 International

The first ever Indian bowler to have made this list is Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The Indian death overs specialist has recorded four five-wicket hauls in Tests, one in ODIs, and one in T20Is. Kumar has now become one of the mainstays in the Indian team across all the formats.

He was the latest member of the club before Kuldeep Yadav. Bhuvi registered his name in the list after an excellent five-wicket haul against South Africa in the T20I series scheduled in February 2018. With that, he also became the second Indian after Yuzvendra Chahal to have taken a five-wicket haul in T20I cricket. Kuldeep was the newest and the third Indian member to have his name on the list of five-wicket hauls in T20Is.


#3 Ajantha Mendis (Tests: 4, ODIs: 3, and T20Is: 2)

Australia v Sri Lanka - Twenty20: Game 2

Ajantha Mendis, a mystery spinner from Sri Lanka, also finds a place on the list. Mendis has taken a total of nine five-wicket hauls in the history of international cricket. He has taken the five wicket-hauls in the ratio of 4:3:2 in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, respectively.

In addition to that, he also is the first and only Sri Lankan spinner to have achieved the feat. No other Sri Lankan spinner acquires a place on the list. He also remains the only spinner to have as many as two five-wicket hauls in T20Is. He was the first Sri Lankan to have minted his name on this very list of five-wicket hauls in all the three formats.
