CSK Rule Out Jamie Overton, Add Dian Forrester Who Misses Next Match
The change tightens selection options before the Lucknow trip.
Overview
- Chennai Super Kings confirmed Jamie Overton is out for the rest of IPL 2026 with a right thigh injury and has returned to the UK.
- Dian Forrester, a 24-year-old South African all-rounder, has been signed as Overton’s replacement for the remainder of the season.
- Forrester is not available for the upcoming game in Lucknow, which leaves CSK to pick an overseas pacer from the current squad.
- Reports point to Spencer Johnson as the likely choice over Matt Henry for the fast-bowling slot in the immediate XI.
- Overton had 14 wickets and 136 runs in 10 matches, MS Dhoni remains sidelined with a calf strain, and CSK continue to juggle injuries in their push for a playoff spot.
