Chennai Super Kings receive another injury setback in IPL 2026 as all-rounder Jamie Overton returns to England to have a thigh injury assessed, multiple reports say. Overton, an England international, is said to be dealing with a right thigh issue. Chennai has not provided an exact timeline for how long he will be away, and it is unclear from the reports whether he will miss the remainder of the league stage or return sooner.
The move adds to CSK’s existing injury concerns and comes at a time when the franchise is aiming to keep alive hopes of a late run toward the IPL 2026 playoffs. One report notes Overton’s recent impact for CSK, citing a season contribution of 14 wickets and 136 runs, underscoring the likely sporting effect of his absence even as the team continues to compete despite other fitness problems.
