Indians and six-wicket hauls have become a common occurrence in recent times. Over the last two decades, Indian bowlers have picked six-wicket haul ten times. This can be credited to the increased exposure to the international experience due to various leagues as well as the improved infrastructure.
Over the years, Indian fast bowling and limited over bowling have improved a lot owing to the Indian T20 League. The Indian National team has found a set of fast bowlers which has drastically improved the standards compared to 20th-century Indian bowling.
Owing to the stupendous bowling over the last two decades, the Indian Cricket Team has been consistently able to stay at the top despite having one ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy to their name. In other major ODI tournaments, India has been able to reach the semifinals/finals consistently.
Here are the top five ODI Spells by Indian bowlers:

At Nottingham, India were up against England in a bilateral series. England got a flying start to the game as they raced to 73 without a loss of a wicket. However, the joy did not last long for England as Kuldeep Yadav spun a web around their batting lineup with his left-arm chinaman action. Kuldeep Yadav’s six-fer helped India to restrict England to a modest 268. In his ten-over spell, Kuldeep Yadav conceded just 25 runs at an economy of 2.5.
