Topical breakdown: Men's T20I wickets for every Full Member team, breaking down DJ Bravo's West Indies record by a previous Test captain
In a historic moment for West Indies cricket, all-rounder Jason Holder has surpassed Dwayne Bravo's long-standing record to become the team's leading wicket-taker in T20 Internationals (T20Is).
Holder achieved this milestone during the second T20I against Pakistan on August 3, 2025, taking his 81st T20I wicket. This achievement comes after a notable 4/19 spell, which significantly contributed to a last-ball victory for West Indies.
With 81 wickets in 74 T20I matches, Holder maintains a bowling average around 28.25, demonstrating his consistency and effectiveness in the format.
This record places Holder among the prominent T20I bowlers, although he is not at the very top globally. Leading wicket-takers from other Full Member nations often exceed 100 wickets. However, within the context of West Indies' history, Holder's achievement is significant, marking a new era for the team's T20I bowling records.
Here's a comparison of Holder's T20I bowling record with some other notable bowlers:
| Aspect | Jason Holder (WI) | Context / Comparison | |-------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | T20I wickets | 81 (highest for West Indies)| Not world record but a major national milestone | | Matches played | 74 | Comparable sample size in T20Is | | Bowling average | ~28.25 | Moderate, effective for T20 format | | Record surpassed | Dwayne Bravo (78 wickets) | Previous West Indies top record |
As West Indies' leading T20I wicket-taker, Holder's record highlights his consistency and impact in the format for his country over multiple years.
