During the 25th match of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024, Chris Jordan pulled off a spectacular catch to dismiss Kyle Mayers in the first innings of a high-stakes clash between Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SNP). The incredible display of athleticism occurred in the 11th over, as Jordan claimed a caught-and-bowled wicket that stunned both fan🐎s and players alike.
Chris Jordan’s jaw-dropping catch
Mayers, who was looking dangerous with the bat, attempted to flick a good-length delivery off Jordan, but the ball 🐻stopped on him slightly, causing him to mistime the shot. The ball flew in the air to the left of Jordan, who reacted instantly, diving across in his follow-through to complete a brilliant two-handed catch. The 35-year-old all-rounder’s quick reflexes and agility brought an end to Mayers’ blistering knock of 60 off just 30 balls, which included eight boundaries and three sixes.
