Jason Holder, the towering West Indies all-rounder, is a capped player with a base price of ₹2 Cr for the IPL 2026 auction. Known for his explosive pace bowling, handy lower-order batting, and leadership skills, Holder has been a global T20 stalwart. In IPL 2025, he represented Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), bringing depth to their overseas contingent.
In IPL 2025 with LSG, Holder played 12 matches, claiming 14 wickets at an economy of 8.2, including a standout 4/22 against Mumbai Indians that turned a chase into a comfortable win. With the bat, he scored 156 runs at a strike rate of 142, highlighted by a match-winning 45* off 22 balls against Chennai Super Kings. His death-over expertise and power-hitting made him a key middle-overs asset, though occasional inconsistency with the ball kept him from top honors.
For IPL 2026 auction, interest is high from Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders, who seek his all-round balance and experience. LSG may retain him as a familiar face.
Expect Holder to deliver 15-18 wickets and 200+ runs in IPL 2026, thriving in pace-friendly venues with improved consistency. A realistic auction price: ₹5-7 Cr, reflecting his proven T20 impact and utility.
