Netizens expressed their appreciation towards Jamie Overton’s bowling prowess against the Lucknow Super Giants in their May 10th clash, and labelled it as ‘MVP of CSK’. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and opted to field first, and the hosts got off a flying start with the help of Josh Inglis, going all guns blazing. LSG reached 91/1 at the end of their batting powerplay, which was their highest of the season, thanks mostly to Josh Inglis’ blistering knock of 85 off 33 balls. Although Anshul Khamboj removed Mitchell Marsh in the power play for 10 runs and Noor Ahmed dismissed the out-of-form Nicholas Pooran just after the power play, the turn of the game arrived in the 10th over. The English all-rounder Josh Inglis took twin wickets in the 10th over of the dangerous Inglis and LSG skipper Rishabh Pant, bringing CSK right into the game. Overton completed his three-fer with the dismissal of Akshat Raghuvanshi for 18 runs off 18 deliveries.

Netizens on X were quick to appreciate Jamie Overton’s efforts and spell. Some of them noticed that Jamie Overton is the ‘real MVP for CSK’ this season, as he has performed consistently since game one. Some also noted this performance as ‘CSK’s greatest performance in history’. Few Netizens appreciated MS Dhoni’s brain and suggestions to choose Overton over Romario Shepherd. Jamie Overton, though, doesn’t have his name flashed in the purple and orange cap list, but his impact as a fast-bowling all-rounder for CSK and a death over specialist has been phenomenal in IPL 2026. His best figures were 4/18.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former CSK Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin appreciates Jamie Overton’s spell as ‘Truly Outstanding’

Not only the Netizens but the former CSK spinner and veteran Ravichandran Ashwin also couldn’t stop appreciating Jamie Overton’s excellent performance from game after game. He also acknowledged the fact that Jamie loves the CSK team and fans and is giving his all for the team as an all-rounder.

"The way Jamie Overton is proving himself in every single match is truly outstanding. From the very first game to today’s match, he has been brilliant. The way Josh Inglis was batting, if he had faced two or three more balls, the match would have almost slipped away from the Chennai Super Kings. But then Jamie Overton came in and took the wicket of Josh Inglis, and in the same over, he also dismissed an important batsman like Rishabh Pant. Truly outstanding from Jamie Overton. Jamie Overton genuinely loves CSK and its fans. He is giving everything he has for CSK every time he steps onto the field. He is a fantastic player, absolutely brilliant," said Ashwin.
