CSK vs RR: Jamie Overton Gives Lifeline To Shimron Hetmyer, Drops RR Batter For 3 Runs

Who Is Jamie Overton ? debuting at the CSK vs RR match , Drops RR Batter For 3 Runs . Jamie Overton, the English pace-bowling all-rounder, could finally get his first taste of the Indian Premier League (IPL), sporting that bright yellow jersey for Chennai Super Kings during the 11th match of IPL 2025 against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati. And while it wasn’t a dream debut on paper, there’s plenty of buzz around this 6-foot-plus unit, mainly because of the price tag and the promise he brings with both bat and ball.

REPLACEMENT –
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have made two key changes to their playing XI for their clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati, on Sunday. The team has dropped all-rounders Sam Curran and Deepak Hooda, bringing in English bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton and Indian international Vijay Shankar as replacements.
CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad announced the changes at the toss, where he opted to bowl first. The skipper did not mention any injuries, indicating that the changes were tactical. Both Curran and Hooda underperformed in CSK’s previous match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, leading to their omission from this game.

“We will bowl first,” Gaikwad said. “Looks like a good wicket, better than the last game played here, so we’ll look to chase. It was a quick turnaround, very little time for us, but that’s how the IPL is. We have come here for the first time as a franchise, and it’s good to see all the love we’ve got. Two changes—Jamie Overton comes in for Sam Curran, and Vijay Shankar replaces Deepak Hooda.”

Jamie Overton’s IPL 2025 price
CSK bagged Jamie at his base price of INR 1.50 crore during the 2025 auction of IPL. For a franchise that loves its utility players, this was seen as a classic CSK move: low investment, high potential. The Englishman replaced his fellow countryman Sam Curran in the starting XI and added a new zing to the team’s setup.
