In 10 matches, Overton claimed 14 wickets and scored 136 runs, emerging as a crucial overseas option in a campaign already disrupted by multiple injuries. <\/p>\n<p> Watch<\/p>\n<p> Jamie Overton opens up on CSK comeback &amp; bowling role\u201cJamie Overton has a right thigh injury and will be returning to the UK for further assessment and management,\u201d CSK said in a statement on Wednesday.The update comes at a difficult time for the five-time champions, who are still in the playoff race but continue to lose players at a worrying rate.<\/p>\n<p>Another injury setback for CSK<\/p>\n<p>Overton is the latest addition to a growing list of unavailable players. Earlier on Wednesday, CSK announced the signing of Macneil Noronha as a replacement for injured all-rounder Ramakrishna Ghosh.The franchise had already lost Ayush Mhatre and Khaleel Ahmed midway through the season, while Australian quick Nathan Ellis has not played at all. Fellow Australian Spencer Johnson has also remained unavailable for large parts of the campaign.Whereas, former captain MS Dhoni has missed the entire season so far due to a calf issue. Hopes of his return rose briefly on Wednesday after reports suggested he was booked to travel with the team to Lucknow, but those hopes faded after he ultimately did not make the trip.CSK have shown resilience despite the setbacks and remain in contention for a playoff spot. But Overton\u2019s departure leaves a fresh hole in their balance, particularly given his impact with the new ball and lower-order hitting.With every match now carrying playoff consequences, CSK\u2019s challenge is no longer just about results \u2014 it is about surviving an injury crisis too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chennai Super Kings&#8217; Jamie Overton (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings suffered another major setback in their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582546,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[28021,199082,1721,199078,199079,17774,199081,130069,199077,199080,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-582545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-chennai-super-kings","tag-chennai-super-kings-injury-list","tag-cricket","tag-csk-injury-news","tag-csk-playoff-race","tag-ipl-2026","tag-ipl-injuries","tag-jamie-overton","tag-jamie-overton-injury","tag-ms-dhoni-injury-update","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582545\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
