#3 Jason Holder
From the shambolic ruins that are West Indies' cricket team, Jason Holder has somehow emerged unscathed. The skipper of the team, Holder has been Windies' premier bowler for a while in Tests and ODIs, and 2017 witnessed him have his best year with the ball.
In the 168 overs he bowled this year across 20 matches, Holder took 23 wickets at an average of 38.73 and an economy rate of 5.3. The highlight of his year was the 5/27 he took against India, helping his team overcome a strong Virat Kohli-led side, their most memorable win across formats in 2017.
Holder wielded his bat to telling effect as well, scoring 410 runs in 18 innings at an average of 26 and a strike-rate close to 100, with the help of two fifties.
Despite his impressive showings, the Windies suffered 19 defeats from the 22 matches they featured in, not a fact the captain would like to have on his report card.
