Jason Holder Age, Stats, Records, Teams and IPL Career

Who is Jason Holder?

Jason Holder is a Barbadian cricketer and former West Indies captain who contributes as a seam-bowling all-rounder. He bats right-handed and bowls right-arm medium-fast. His career spans Test, ODI and T20I cricket plus major franchise leagues, with each competition maintaining its own match, run and wicket totals.

Holder's current franchise teams are Gujarat Titans, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and Los Angeles Knight Riders. A membership can change by season without restarting his career record or adding the same wickets to two competition totals.

Jason Holder age, birthplace and playing style

Holder was born in Barbados on 5 November 1991 and was 34 years old on 24 August 2026. He is listed as a right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fast bowler. His height and release point are often discussed, but the measurable record does not require an unsupported tactical conclusion based on physical description.

All-rounder is the most stable role across his current teams and international career. The label is supported by more than 3,000 Test runs and more than 150 Test wickets in the dated table. Match use still varies: some sides select him for new-ball or death overs, while others need late-order batting depth.

West Indies international career

Holder entered West Indies' senior white-ball teams before establishing himself in Test cricket. Cricket West Indies currently lists 69 Tests, 138 ODIs and 98 T20Is. Those are separate international formats with different aggregates, even when matches occur during the same tour.

He also led West Indies in Test and ODI cricket over a substantial period. Captaincy is part of the career context but does not turn every team result into an individual achievement. His double-century, Southampton bowling performance and Bangladesh match haul are more precise measures because each is tied to an official report.

Jason Holder Test batting record

Cricket West Indies lists 3,073 Test runs at an average of 29.83, with three centuries, fourteen fifties and a high score of 202 not out. These figures describe a genuine lower-order batting record rather than occasional tail-end survival. His Test span on the official table runs from 2014 to 2024.

His first-class row is broader: 110 matches, 4,157 runs at 26.47, four hundreds and seventeen fifties. Tests are already included within eligible first-class totals, so the rows must never be added together. The international line answers West Indies questions; the first-class line supplies wider red-ball context.

Jason Holder Test bowling record

Cricket West Indies lists 162 Test wickets at 30.39, with a Test-best 6 for 42 and best match figures of 11 for 103. It records eight five-wicket hauls and one ten-wicket match. Combined with his batting output, those figures explain why rankings systems have evaluated him as an all-rounder rather than only a specialist seamer.

The broader first-class row lists 269 wickets at 27.34 and the same best innings figures. Different averages arise because the competitions and match samples differ. The balls, wickets, averages and five-wicket hauls therefore remain within their source-defined formats rather than being blended into a custom total.

Holder's 11 for 103 came against Bangladesh at Kingston in July 2018. ICC records 5 for 44 in the first innings and 6 for 59 in the second, when Bangladesh were dismissed for 168. West Indies won by 166 runs, completed a 2-0 series sweep and named Holder Player of the Match. The two innings together form the match return; 6 for 59 remains the better innings figure from that Test.

The 202 not out against England

Holder made 202 not out from 229 balls against England in Bridgetown in January 2019. ICC records an unbeaten 295-run partnership with Shane Dowrich and a 381-run West Indies victory. It also identified the innings as the third-highest Test score by a number-eight batter at that time.

The double-century was his Test high score and a central two-skill achievement, but it should not be inflated into a claim that he holds the overall number-eight record. Precise wording preserves the ranking context, opposition, venue and unbeaten status while allowing later record changes to be assessed independently.

Number one Test all-rounder ranking

After the Bridgetown double-century, ICC reported that Holder became the first West Indies player in 45 years to lead the Test all-rounder rankings. Sir Garfield Sobers had been the previous West Indies player at number one in March 1974. Holder moved above Shakib Al Hasan and Ravindra Jadeja in the January 2019 update.

A rankings achievement is tied to a published update, not a permanent title. Cricket West Indies later recorded that he remained number one through 2019 and into 2020. He therefore reached and held the top position during that period, but that does not make him the current number-one player in 2026.

2018 ICC Test Team of the Year

Cricket West Indies' report on the ICC Test Team of the Year says Holder was selected as the all-rounder after an outstanding 2018. Across six Tests that year, it records 336 runs at 37.33 and 33 wickets at 12.39, the latter described as an exceptional fast-bowling average over that sample.

This is a calendar-year honour and performance line, not his lifetime average. Keeping the six-match period visible prevents a short peak from being mistaken for the entire Test career. It also gives readers a second evidence-led achievement beyond the 2019 double-century and rankings rise.

ODI and T20I statistics

Cricket West Indies lists 2,237 ODI runs from 138 matches and 159 wickets, with best bowling of 5 for 27. Its current T20I row lists 909 runs and 112 wickets from 98 matches, also with best figures of 5 for 27. The identical best figures do not merge the formats.

Holder's ODI batting high is 99 not out, while his T20I high is 49. These records show meaningful lower-order contributions without manufacturing an international century outside Tests. Future West Indies appearances belong only in the format in which they were played, so an ODI cannot alter his T20I aggregate and vice versa.

Jason Holder at the 2026 T20 World Cup

ICC selected Holder in its Men's T20 World Cup 2026 Team of the Tournament after he made 141 runs and took ten wickets in seven matches. His best bowling was 4 for 27 against Nepal, when he removed three of the top five batters and helped West Indies complete a nine-wicket win.

The same ICC review highlights his 37 not out from 22 balls and 2 for 38 against India in the Super Eight. West Indies lost that match, so the innings and bowling figures remain individual contributions rather than a team victory. The tournament return also sits inside, rather than alongside, his wider T20I career totals.

Franchise career and current teams

Holder's franchise career spans competitions in India, the Caribbean, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. Current official rosters place him with Gujarat Titans for IPL 2026, St Kitts & Nevis Patriots for CPL 2026, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders for ILT20 Season 4 and Los Angeles Knight Riders for MLC 2026.

These memberships describe distinct competition rosters and can overlap within a calendar year. They do not imply simultaneous contracts for one league or a transfer between every listed side. A roster confirms team membership, while an official playing eleven or scorecard is still needed to claim a match appearance.

Competition-specific performance remains attached to its own season. A wicket for Abu Dhabi cannot appear in Gujarat's aggregate, and an MLC squad listing cannot be treated as a CPL appearance. This separation lets readers compare Holder's franchise roles without confusing roster status, appearances or results across four different leagues.

Jason Holder IPL career statistics

IPL and Gujarat's official profiles list 57 career matches, 324 runs and 70 wickets through the completed 2026 season. Gujarat records a career best of 4 for 24. Those totals include his IPL appearances across multiple franchises and should not be added again to a wider T20 aggregate.

IPL statistics are not added to Holder's overall T20 or T20I rows. T20I covers senior internationals, while a wider T20 total can include IPL matches. Maintaining separate labels lets readers answer competition-specific questions without double-counting the same spell or innings inside an invented all-cricket total.

What does Jason Holder's ₹7 crore IPL price mean?

Gujarat Titans' official 2026 auction report records Holder's purchase for ₹7 crore after he entered the auction with a ₹2 crore base price. It is a competition-specific contract value for his Gujarat signing, not a measure of the runs or wickets he produced after joining the team.

The auction price does not establish post-tax income, total career earnings or net worth. Those calculations would require private information about payments, taxes, assets, liabilities and endorsements. The dependable public figure is therefore the ₹7 crore IPL purchase price, with its season and contract scope stated clearly.

Jason Holder IPL 2026 performance

Gujarat's completed 2026 directory lists eleven matches, 65 runs and 17 wickets for Holder. IPL's Match 42 report named him Player of the Match for an all-round performance against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The playoff reports also place him in Gujarat's late-season playing group.

Seventeen wickets made him a significant bowling contributor in a season that ended with Gujarat as runner-up. The final report records seven runs before his dismissal in the chase. Gujarat reached the title match but did not win it, so Holder's 2026 record is a runner-up finish rather than an IPL championship.

Current CPL, ILT20 and MLC teams

The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots roster identifies Holder in the 2026 CPL group, while ILT20's official squad announcement places him with Abu Dhabi Knight Riders. Los Angeles Knight Riders' official site confirms the MLC membership. These sources establish team status, not universal career statistics.

Individual match claims still require a named scorecard. A season aggregate belongs to the team and competition in which it was recorded; CPL, ILT20 and MLC appearances cannot silently replace West Indies or IPL totals.

What is publicly established about Jason Holder's private life?

Official cricket records do not provide a sufficiently complete and relevant account of Holder's relationships or family life. Girlfriend, wife and private-family claims from celebrity aggregators are therefore not dependable additions to his playing record. Sporting prominence does not remove normal standards for accuracy and privacy.

Southampton 6 for 42 and a career-best bowling ranking

Holder took a Test-best 6 for 42 in England's first innings at Southampton in July 2020, helping bowl the hosts out for 204. He finished the match with seven wickets as West Indies won by four wickets and moved one match ahead in the three-Test series.

The performance lifted Holder to second in the ICC Test bowling rankings with career-best 862 bowling ranking points. ICC described that as the highest points total by a West Indies bowler in twenty years, behind Courtney Walsh's 866 in August 2000. Holder also remained first in the Test all-rounder rankings, at a career-high 485 points after the match.
