Watch: Chris Jordan pulls off a stunner to dismiss Suryakumar Yadav
The right-arm pacer from England, Chris Jordan has been the most hard-working player in the England team. He did an absolute stunner to dismiss the inform batsman, Suryakumar Yadav in the 5th T20I.
Suryakumar, who has been in tremendous form with the bat, has once again started his inning in a typical manner by smashing the bowlers all over the park. But, he got out in an unlucky way.
During Adil Rashid's over, Suryakumar stepped out and hit a shot over mid-on but he mistimed a bit. Though everyone thought it would reach the boundary line, Jordan from nowhere grabbed the ball before sending it to Roy, who comfortably took the catch.
Jason Roy could not believe what happened before his eye as he was stunned and applauded his teammate's effort.

Coming to the game, the skipper of the England team, Eoin Morgan asked the hosts to bat first. While England did not change their team, the Indian team finally removed KL Rahul from the playing XI and Kohli opened the inning along with Rohit.
The opening duo destroyed the England bowling lineup especially Rohit who enjoyed playing big shots. He then lost his important wicket to Stokes after registering a fifty.
Suryakumar, who came in at number three, continued the momentum and scored an entertaining knock of 32 off 17 with the help of 3 fours and a couple of sixes before losing his wicket to leg-spinner.
After the great start from the top-order, the team management sent Pandya to manage the run rate and the batsman did not disappoint them as he scored 39 off just 17 deliveries.
The skipper of the Indian team, Virat Kohli who played a second fiddle knock, scored a blistering knock of 80 runs off 52 deliveries. The pure domination from the batters helped them to post a huge target of 225 on the board.
