About 6 feet and 7 inches tall, Jason Holder, a lanky hit-the-deck medium pace bowler, to the surprise of many has not one but two test centuries. Holder was talked about by a number of cricketing experts as someone having immense batting potential due to his compact technique coupled with his temperament and cricketing maturity.

He slowly began to realise this potential and scored his maiden test century against England in 2015 with a majestic 103* that both saved the game for The West Indies and illustrated his hyped batting ability.

He then followed this up with a series of consistent batting performances and another century against Zimbabwe in 2017 and now boasts of a very respectable batting record with an average of 30.26 across 34 test matches.
