Jason Holder is expected to play a big role for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. Even though he has not played in the IPL since 2023, he was bought for INR 7 crore in the IPL 2026 auction after an excellent performance throughout 2025. In 2025, he took 97 wickets in 68 innings and finished the year as the highest wicket-taker. He picked up 15 wickets in 10 matches in ILT20 2025–26. Before that, he took 13 wickets in 10 matches in the CPL and nine wickets in eight matches in the MLC. So, he has been in very good wicket-taking form.
In T20Is in 2025, he took 31 wickets in 23 matches and scored 255 runs with the bat. This is why Gujarat Titans picked him for the upcoming season. With only Arshad Khan as the other pace-bowling all-rounder in the team, Holder is likely to be the main option and a regular in the playing XI. He can bowl in the powerplay and at the death, and with the bat, he can play the role of a finisher.
