Presenting Indian bowlers with five-wicket hauls in Day-Night Tests
What's the story
India's day-night Test cricket journey started in November 2019, against Bangladesh at Eden Gardens.
The format, which is played with a pink ball instead of the traditional red one, has revived fan interest and posed new challenges for players.
Meanwhile, India's next pink-ball assignment is against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, starting on December 6.
Here we look at Indians with five-wicket hauls in Day-Night Tests.
#1
Jasprit Bumrah - 5/24 vs Sri Lanka, 2022
India's leading pacer Jasprit Bumrah starred in India's historic Day/Night Test win against Sri Lanka in 2022 in Mohali.
A stunning five-wicket haul helped India bowl out the Lankans for 109 in the first innings.
It was his maiden Test fifer at home as he claimed 5/24 across 10 overs.
India eventually won by 238 runs as Bumrah took three more wickets in his second outing.
#2
Ishant Sharma - 5/22 vs Bangladesh, 2019
Former Indian pacer Ishant Sharma recorded a fifer in the first innings of the day-night Test against Bangladesh in Kolkata, 2019.
The visitors managed a mere 106 runs as Ishant recorded figures of 5/22.
In the second innings, he picked up 4/56 to dent the Tigers even further.
It was India's first-ever Day-Night Test as they won by an innings and 46 runs.
#3
Umesh Yadav - 5/53 vs Bangladesh, 2019
Umesh Yadav claimed eight wickets in the aforementioned pink-ball game in Kolkata.
Bangladesh scored 106 runs in the first innings as Yadav recorded figures of 3/29.
During the second innings, he picked up 5/53 folding the visitors for 195.
He bowled 21.1 overs and managed three maidens in his spell. As mentioned, India recorded an innings triumph in that game.
#4
Axar Patel - 6/38 and 5/32 vs England, 2021
Axar Patel, the only spinner on this list, was the first bowler to claim twin fifers in a Day-Night Test.
The left-arm spinner was at his best in the 2021 Ahmedabad game as he ripped apart the England batting line-up on two occasions.
Patel's 6/38 and 5/32 meant the visitors could only manage 112 and 81 in their two outings.
India hence recorded a 10-wicket triumph.
