Overton makes a big impression with his pace and variations

It is not often that a bowler goes only for 18 runs in his full quota in a T20 game where over 400 runs were amassed. To top it, Jamie Overton scalped four wickets in Chennai Super Kings’ first win of IPL 2026 against Delhi Capitals at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday (April 11, 2026).

The 32-year-old troubled the opposition batters with his pace and reaped the rewards. CSK bowling coach Eric Simons said as much in his interaction with the media after the 23-run win. “Jamie’s got that sort of pace that he can do it and rattle. I mean, he’s rattled everybody with his pace.”
