At 6'7, Jason Holder is hard to miss and when you add his all-round talent with bat and ball, he becomes impossible to ignore. Born in Barbados, Holder first caught attention in youth cricket and was part of the West Indies squad for the 2010 Under-19 World Cup, where he finished as the team’s leading wicket-taker with 12 wickets.
His strong domestic performances soon earned him a place in the senior side. Holder made his ODI debut against Australia in 2013, with his T20I and Test debuts following soon after. While he initially contributed valuable lower-order runs, his true impact grew over time as he developed into a dependable all-rounder.
In a challenging period for West Indies cricket, Holder was entrusted with the responsibility of leading the side in ODIs and Tests early in his international career. He led the team in the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, while continuing to shine as a player, particularly in Test cricket, where he rose to No. 1 in the ICC Test all-rounder rankings.
An IPL veteran, Holder has played for multiple franchises across seasons, bringing valuable experience and versatility to every squad he joins. Jason Holder was the Gujarat Titans' costliest buy (₹7 crore) in the IPL 2026 auction and will be adding leadership, balance, and all-round firepower to the Titans lineup.
