Q: According to Jason Holder, what specific bowling strategy has contributed to his impressive form in the ongoing T20 World Cup where he has taken seven wickets in three matches?

Bowling more Yorkers and being less predictable. West Indies pacer Jason Holder attributed his top bowling form in the T20 World Cup to deliberately making himself less predictable to batters and increasing his Yorker deliveries. The 34-year-old all-rounder, who claimed impressive figures of 4/27 against Nepal to set up a comfortable nine-wicket victory, explained at the post-match presentation that he focuses on changing angles and varying his positions at the crease. Holder emphasized the importance of executing Yorkers more consistently as part of his evolved bowling strategy in the shortest format.
