He contributed immensely with both bat and ball.
West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder came up with another terrific performance during the second T20I against Pakistan in Florida. He contributed immensely with both bat and ball and ensured the West Indies ended their drought after a series of defeats.
Bowling first, Holder snared four wickets while conceding only 19 runs in his four-over spell at an economy rate of 4.80. He dismissed big batters like Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Nawaz, ensuring Pakistan could only score 133/9 in their allotted 20 overs in the first innings.

Later, he came to bat in a precarious situation when the West Indies were reeling at 96/6 in the 17th over and required a prudent knock from the experienced batter. He scored 16 runs in 10 deliveries, including one boundary and a maximum, at a strike rate of 160.
ALSO READ:
Jason Holder fell off the radar last year due to inconsistent performances with the bat and ball. However, he has bounced back strongly and been highly consistent this year, performing exceptionally well across disciplines.
With the ball, he has 56 wickets at an average of 22.94 and an economy rate of 8.90 in 39 innings in 2025. Furthermore, he has scored 454 runs at an average of 30.26 and a strike rate of 168.77 in 29 outings, with a best score of 32 not out.
Holder has featured in various T20 leagues worldwide and has adapted brilliantly to the conditions. Then, his international performances have also improved since his comeback, proving his inclusion is right.
Jason Holder was part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for several years and did reasonably well. However, he was unsold in the IPL 2025 auction due to his mediocre performances and the reduced role of all-rounders.
The Impact Player rule has taken away the role of all-rounders who can’t be specialists in one department. It was one of the reasons why Holder was unsold. However, he has regained his form and shown the ability to consistently contribute with both bat and ball, which will boost his chances of an IPL return.
Teams like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will require a few pace-bowling all-rounders in their squad next season and can target Holder. They also prefer experience, and the West Indies all-rounder ticks that box too and looks set to return to the league.
