England’s Chris Jordan displayed a stunning effort on the boundary line to send back dangerous-looking Suryakumar Yadav (32 off 17) during the five-match T20I series decider against India at the 𒈔Narendra 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 cat𒁃ch and 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 quota of 2𝔉0 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!!
