3 Teams Which Can Target Jason Holder In IPL 2022 Auction

The West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder is one of the underrated players who can be very handy with the bat down the order and also with his wicket-taking ability. He came in as a replacement to injured Mitchell Marsh in the last season and had a great impact on the side’s performances after getting his chance in the playing XI.

He was expected to play a lot more games but it did not pan out that way and he just played one game this season before being dropped from the side. He managed to pick up three wickets in the one game he played but managed only 4 runs with the bat. He is unlikely to be retained by the franchise and here are 3 teams that can target Jason Holder in IPL 2022 Auction.

3 Teams Which Can Target Jason Holder:

Chennai Super Kings:

Chennai Super Kings have had a liking for the fast bowling all-rounders and also with Dwayne Bravo ageing out, they will need an experienced finisher down the order who can bowl four overs too. The mega auction might allow them to retain only one overseas player which will most probably be Sam Curran.

Jason Holder will certainly boost their fast bowling department which has lacked depth and he also has the ability to hit the long balls. He bowls testing lines with the new ball and can be a wicket-taking bowler in the middle overs too. Chennai Super Kings should target the all-rounder who can certainly be a match-winner.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Royal Challengers Bangalore had a good season this year until the tournament was suspended and one of the reasons was the addition of all-rounders to the side. It provided the skipper with a lot of bowling options and if the mega auction takes place, they will need a quality all-rounder who can finish off games down the order.

Jason Holder certainly fits into the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad as he can come in after Devilliers and lengthen the batting lineup that has been really short this season. RCB tried out Daniel Christian at six, but it did not work and they should look to bring in the big West Indian. With the small boundaries in the Chinnaswamy stadium, Holder should be able to clear it easily.

Punjab Kings:

The successful franchises have always had options in their batting and bowling as well and that is where the Punjab Kings should start working in the auction. They must get in players who have experience of getting the job done in the past and the lack of experienced all-rounders was a big question this season for Punjab Kings.

They tried Moises Henriques and Fabien Allen and it did not work out for them and they will certainly need an overseas all-rounder who can give four overs with the ball and finish the innings on a high note down the order. Jason Holder does suit the role perfectly and hence should be on priority for the franchise if the mega auction takes place.
