Jason Holder missed out on an IPL contract last year because of his mediocre performance for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2016.

However, Mumbai Indians' overseas pacers were a big disappointment last year and they are likely to change things around this season.

Mustafizur Rahman and Mitchell McClenaghan did well in patches but weren't able to perform collectively which cost Mumbai Indians dearly. Holder has played for three different franchises in the IPL so far and can use the experience of playing in Indian conditions.

The thing that can go in favour of the big Barbadian is the fact that his fellow West Indies all-rounder Keiron Pollard was in awful form last season and is all set to be released this year.

While Holder is a much better bowler than Pollard, his big hitting abilities in the latter half of innings can prove to be vital for Mumbai Indians.
