IPL 2026: Holder Was Outstanding Because Of His Discipline With Length, Says McClenaghan
Former New Zealand: Former New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan has hailed Jason Holder’s ‘outstanding’ spell of 4-24 playing a vital part in Gujarat Titans beating Punjab Kings by four wickets in IPL 2026, adding that the all-rounder’s success was down to him being disciplined with his lengths at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
That spell also ensured Holder won successive Player-of-the-Match awards for GT, who are now on a three-match winning streak. "Jason Holder was outstanding because of his discipline with length. He consistently hit that hard length, right around the six-to-eight metre mark, which made life difficult for the batters.
"With his height, the extra bounce becomes a real challenge; the ball climbs onto the splice and is hard to control. He didn’t offer width either. So, there were very few scoring opportunities. On top of that, he mixed in his variations smartly and even got some sideways movement later in the innings. It was a complete spell, perfectly suited to the conditions," said McClenaghan on JioHotstar.
