The English star picked up the injury ahead of CSK’s match against Lucknow Super Giants. He will now return to the UK for further checks and treatment.

“Jamie Overton has a right thigh injury and will be returning to the UK for further assessment and management,” CSK said in an official statement on Wednesday, May 13.

Overton is the eighth player from the Chennai camp to be sidelined this season. His exit adds to a long list of fitness problems that have troubled the team throughout the tournament.
