Jason Holder Breaks The Internet With Ridiculous Fourth Slip Delivery In ILT20
Jason Holder’s bizarre wide delivery in ILT20 flies past everyone and lands at imaginary fourth slip.
A moment of pure comedy unfolded during the 2025 International League T20 (ILT20) season when West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder bowled what can only be described as a "fourth slip delivery." Representing the Dubai Capitals, Holder was steaming in to deliver a routine pace ball when the delivery slipped disastrously from his hand. The ball sailed harmlessly past the batter, evaded the wicketkeeper, and landed precisely where a fourth slip fielder would typically stand in a Test match.
In T20 cricket, aggressive slip cordons are rarely used, so the ball simply found an empty patch of the field. The bizarre wide immediately went viral, with commentators, fans, and even the official ILT20 social media account sharing the clip. Cricket enthusiasts around the world were left in splits, with many calling it one of the most unusual wides ever seen in franchise cricket.
Holder, known globally for his height, relentless accuracy, and control, is rarely the source of such mishaps. The "glitch in the system" moment provided rare lighthearted relief in the high-pressure world of T20 cricket. True to his professional demeanor, Holder didn't dwell on the incident and simply walked back to his mark to bowl the next delivery as if nothing had happened.

The video quickly spread across social media, with fans praising the sheer randomness of the delivery. Comments ranged from "This is why we love cricket" to "Fourth slip delivery of the century!" Even the ILT20's official account joined in on the fun, sharing the clip with a humorous caption.
While it cost the Dubai Capitals an extra run, the moment has become one of the most talked-about highlights of the 2025 ILT20 season. It serves as a reminder that even the best in the game can produce the occasional unplayable wide—one that goes straight to the one place no fielder was stationed. For fans, it's a perfect dose of cricketing comedy in a format usually filled with sixes and yorkers.
