Jason Holder has rewritten the T20 cricket record books by securing the most wickets in a calendar year. In 2025, the West Indies all-rounder achieved an exceptional tally of 97 wickets across various T20 matches, establishing a new global benchmark for bowling performance within a single year.

This feat eclipses the long-standing record of 96 wickets previously held by Afghanistan's star spinner Rashid Khan, who achieved his record in 2018. Holder's dominant 2025 season sees him now stand alone at the top of this prestigious list.

Prior record-holder Dwayne Bravo, who took 87 wickets in 2016, now sits third, while young Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad's 86 wickets in 2025 place him fifth. Rashid Khan also features multiple times in the historical rankings for his performances in 2022 and 2017.
