IPL 2026: ‘World Class’ All-rounder Holder Fulfills Both Roles With Bat And Ball, Says Solanki
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Gujarat Titans director of cricket Vikram Solanki described Jason Holder as a “world-class allrounder” who has justified the franchise’s faith in him by contributing with both bat and ball.
Holder produced a Player of the Match performance in GT’s win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday night - picking 2-29 in four overs, claiming three catches and scoring 12 useful runs in the chase, which the 2022 winners completed with four wickets in hand.
"When we were pursuing Jason at the auction, it was with a mind to him being able to fulfil both roles, the bat and the ball, so he does offer that. His numbers, I think if you take a look over the last calendar year and perhaps a little bit longer than that, his numbers at five and six (in the batting order) have been quite outstanding, and that's just, as I said, has come about because he of course has all of the ability that you'd need.
