Jason Holder

T20 cricket is a lottery. Withing a few balls the game can change and in two matches, a villain can turn into a hero. That's exactly what happened with West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder. 

In the 4th T20I, Holder conceded four sixes in a row against Moeen Ali and England went on to win the match by 34 runs. However, Holder got his revenge within 24 hours in the 5th T20I, which was also the series decider.

In the last over, England needed 20 runs to win the match. Sam Billings(40 off 26 balls) and Chris Jordan(7 off 6 balls) were at the crease. Holder bowled a no-ball and Billings ran a single, however, Jordan couldn't find any run on the free hit. 

On the second legal ball, Jordan smashed the ball, trying to go over the mid-wicket boundary, and got caught at the ropes. Billings got on the strike for the next ball and again hit the ball in the same region and got caught.

On the hat-trick ball, Adil Rashid tried hitting the ball towards the deep square leg and got caught as Jason Holder became the first West Indian to take a hat-trick in T20Is. On the next ball, Holder bowled Saqib Mahmood to become only the fourth bowler to take a double hattrick in T20Is.
