West Indies legend Brian Lara has tipped for T20 captain, Jason Holder, as the Windies player who could shine most brightly in the India Premier League (IPL) this season.
The all-rounder was retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for the new campaign, after only coming in as a substitute for Australian Mitchell Marsh last season.
Holder went on to score 66 runs, in seven matches, at an average of 33, and claimed 14 wickets, the third most on the team despite playing less than half the games. Lara, who is part of a commentary panel for this season’s tournament, has tipped the player to carry on in the same vein.

That is bollocks.
“I think Jason could be an awesome captain and an awesome leader,” he said. “He first of all has the ability to be in a team which is very important.”
This was in 2016

Like.....Reon King is an all rounder. Can’t bat. Cant bowl. And can’t field?
How about Sarwan is a snake!
No?
What about Jason Holder is a good cricketer. But a lost captain?
