Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], May 15 (ANI): England all-rounder Jamie Overton spoke on his Indian Premier League (IPL) stint with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) being cut short due to injuries, thanking the franchise's fans for all the support and expressing excitement for next season.
CSK's campaign in the ongoing season, while it has been picking up steam and has placed CSK extremely close to the playoffs door, has hit a massive roadblock as one of the franchise's biggest match-winners of the season will no longer be featuring in the tournament due to a thigh injury. CSK has roped in South African all-rounder Dian Forrester as his replacement.
Taking to Instagram, he posted, 'Gutted to be heading home from @chennaiipl at the crunch stage of the tournament! Absolutely loved this year and backing the lads to get it done! Also, massive thanks to all the Super Kings fans for the messages and support. It's been incredible, and I really appreciate the love! Can't wait for next year already #yellove #csk.'
