Half-yearly report: Rating ODI Captains of top 10 teams in 2019
Few of the captains touched the new low despite having a great start to the year while a few hit the hilt after having a shaky start.
5. Jason Holder, West Indies – 7
Jason Holder‘s men began the year emphatically as they tied an ODI series against England. It was the series where scores of 350 were posted nonchalantly and Chris Gayle was in ominous form with 424 runs in 4 innings. Following that the team played a tri-series in Ireland and there also they performed well without some of their regular stars.
Shai Hope came into his own as he piled on 470 runs in 4 innings including 2 centuries. Suddenly the West Indies team looked like a potent unit and they had all their bases covered before the championship. Most importantly they had a capable leader in the form of Jason Holder.
The all-rounder has been guiding the team since the last 50 overs championship and till now he has helped the island nation in every possible way. Though in the 2019 World Cup he led the side tactically his teammates never stood up for him and the result was an early exit. Holder did his part in both the departments but a breakthrough performance eluded him.
