Watch: Chris Jordan stunning catch dismisses Kyle Mayers in CPL 2024

In an intense first-inning encounter between Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) and St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SNP), Chris Jordan produced a superb catch to dismiss Kyle Mayers during the 25th game of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2024). Jordan's astounding athletic showing came in the 11th over when he astonished players and fans alike with a caught-and-bowled wicket.

Mayers, looking threatening with the bat, tried to flick a good-length delivery off Jordan, but he mistimed the stroke because the ball stopped on him somewhat. Jordan was hit by the ball as it soared to his left, but he quickly responded and dove across to complete an incredible two-handed catch. The 35-year-old all-rounder ended Mayers' explosive 60 off just 30 balls, which featured eight boundaries and three sixes, with his quick reactions and agility.
