Jason Holder finished with figures of 1 for 76 from his 8.5 overs during the second ODI against India.
This was the fifth instance of the bowler going for 70plus runs in an ODI innings, as captain. No other bowler has conceded 70-plus runs on more than two occasions as captain. The three bowlers to concede 70-plus runs, as captain, on two occasions each are Pakistan’s Waqar Younis, Ireland’s Trent Johnston and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan. There are 11 other bowler-captains who have conceded 70-plus runs in an ODI innings once each.
Holder’s expensive spell helped India reach a score of 311 from its allotted 43 overs in the rain-curtailed second ODI in Port of Spain. This was the 96th time that India had scored 300-plus runs in an ODI innings, the most by any team. It went past Australia, which had made 95 scores of 300 or more in ODIs. However, India has only won 75 of the 96 matches when it had made 300-plus scores, which means it has a win percentage of 78.1, which is worse than each of the 10 major cricket nations, except West Indies (73%) and England (66.7). India has lost 19 matches when it has made 300-plus scores, which is the most for any team
