CSK did not specify how long Overton would be away for – or whether he was out for the rest of the season – but it is doubtful that he will return for their remaining three league games. They play an away game against Lucknow Super Giants on Friday.
“Jamie Overton has a right thigh injury and will be returning to the UK for further assessment and management,” CSK said on social media on Wednesday night.
They had also lost fast bowler Nathan Ellis to a hamstring injury before IPL 2026 began, and then lost left-arm quick Khaleel Ahmed (quadricep injury) and No. 3 batter Ayush Mhatre (hamstring injury) during the season. Middle-order batter Dewald Brevis had missed the first three games of the season, all of which CSK lost, with a side strain, and MS Dhoni and Australian quick Spencer Johnson are yet to play a match in IPL 2026.
