IPL Auction 2018: 5 players with a surprising base price

#4 Jason Holder - 1.5 crore

Jason Holder is unlikely to claim an IPL team with his huge base price

Considering the plethora of West Indian all-rounders that teams have to choose from, it is surprising to see that Jason Holder has opted to go with a base price of 150 lakhs. Especially considering the fact that he had the same base price last year and was one of the players who went unsold.

While the 26-year-old is a solid all-rounder who can contribute with both bat and ball, the availability of so many alternatives, especially cheaper ones who can make a bigger impact in T20s, means he is unlikely to fetch too many suitors.

A career T20 bowling economy rate of almost 8 and batting average of under 15 aren't what you look for in a game-changing all-rounder. So it looks as though Holder is likely to go without an IPL team for another season.
