Since their debut in 2022, Gujarat Titans have been the most successful team in the Indian Premier League (IPL), nearly winning consecutive titles. However, their performance has declined since 2024, particularly after the exit of captain Hardik Pandya. The team has struggled to find a reliable allrounder, with only Pandya and Rashid Khan meeting basic allrounder criteria in their history. Jason Holder's inclusion has been a much-needed boost, as he has utilized his Test match skills to take seven wickets in just four matches this season, contributing to three wins. Holder's ability to maintain a good length and his height give him an edge over many bowlers. Despite limited batting chances, he has shown promise, scoring 23 runs off 10 balls in one match. Holder expressed his desire to return to Test cricket, indicating that his IPL performance could pave the way for that opportunity.
