Is Jamie Overton injured?
The biggest concern about CSK all-rounder Overton started to arise when he was seen bowling his entire spell against Delhi Capitals in the tenth match of the season.
Chennai was on the frontline right from the first innings and whenever a new bowler was brought into the attack, he took a wicket. After chasing a big target in their last game, Delhi’s batsmen once again had to struggle.
Overton was the last bowling option used by the Super Kings. He came in as the sixth bowling option and bowled just one over in the game, taking one wicket for just 5 runs.

CSK has been troubled by several injuries throughout the season. Midway through the season they have lost players like Ayush Mhatre, Nathan Ellis, Khaleel Ahmed and many others; Therefore, concerns over the fitness of their in-form player do not seem to be an anomaly.
Jamie is the second best fast bowler from CSK in terms of number of wickets, only behind Anshul Kamboj. It was a matter of concern for the fans to see him mainly in the dugout, as he did not complete his quota of overs, despite including a vital wicket of Tristan Stubbs in the first over.
However, after the match, a RevSportz source close to the CSK management has revealed that Jamie Overton is 100% match fit and ready to continue playing for CSK in their upcoming games as well.
