Will Jack’s courageous effort stops Vaibhav Suryavanshi from hitting a six on the first ball
Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss at Wankhede and elected to bowl first, keen to chase the target on a promising batting track. Deepak Chahar faced Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the first over of the game.
As Vaibhav Suryavanshi bowled the third ball of Deepak Chahar’s over towards the mid-wicket boundary, Will Jack, who was positioned in the deep, jumped high over the ropes and took the catch. However, when he realized that he would fall on the ropes, he threw the ball back into the field.
He saved all five runs for his team and also prevented Vaibhav Suryavanshi from hitting the first six of the game.
Doing borderline literal jumping jacks!
How good was that saving?
