England’s Chris Jordan displayed a stunning effort on the boundary line to send back dangerous-looking Suryakumar Yadav (32 of෴f 17) during the five-match T20I series decider against India at the Nare🏅ndra Modi Stadium on Saturday.
The incident took place in the 14th over of the first innings bowled by Adil Rashid. Suryakumar heaved a huge shot towards wide long-on, but Jordan had other ideas. The 32-year-old sprinted across the boundary, grabbed the ball with his right hand and flicked it towards an oncoming fielder, Jason Roy.
Roy🌳 completed the catch a🃏nd let out a hearty laugh.

Jordan living up to the name! 😉🔥

After Surya’s dismissal, Virat Kohli (80 not out off 52) and Hardik Pandya (39 not out off 17) guided India to post a challenging total of 224/2 in their full qu💧ota of 20 overs.
Meanwhile, opening batsman Rohit Sharma scored 64 runs off 34 balls.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Jordan’s brilliance:

A great fielder, Chris Jordan, has just made a very tough chance look ridiculously easy. And it won't even go against his name in the scorecard!!
