IPL 2023: 5 franchises that might target Jason Holder at auction

2. Rajasthan Royals 

Rajasthan Royals had a phenomenal campaign at the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League and finished in the runners-up position. However, Sanju Samson & co. struggled to find the right balance for their team throughout the season. The squad had many top-drawer batters and bowlers but lacked all-round options.

Further, James Neesham and Daryl Mitchell,  the overseas all-rounders in the team, did not impress with their performances. Neesham could manage 31 runs in two matches at a strike rate of 114.81 and was not able to have any impact with the ball. Mitchell, on the other hand, scored mere 33 runs in two games at a strike rate of 75.00.

As the Kiwi all-rounders failed to make the most of the opportunities, the team management decided against retaining them. With the release of the duo, RR are expected to go fishing for seam-bowling all-rounders at the upcoming player auction and they could to interested in someone like Holder. 

The West Indies all-rounder has the ability to bowl in any phase of the game and is more than handy with the bat. Holder is an asset to any side and Rajasthan could raise their paddle to sign him at the forthcoming auction.
