Chennai Super Kings pacer Jamie Overton was awarded the ‘Player of the Match’ for claiming three wickets in a five-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

After receiving his POTM award, Overton said, “It felt good. Bit tight at the end. Nice to get over the line and get another two points.”

The England all-rounder scalped three wickets in the match while giving away 36 runs in his four overs, which helped CSK restrict LSG to 203/8 despite a stunning start by Josh Inglis as well.

Speaking about his bowling, Overton said, “I think I was just doing what I’ve been doing well. Just keep hitting the top of the stumps and trying to make them hit good balls off the top of the stumps. Nice to get a sort of strangle from the leg-side. Nice to get a couple of wickets, and obviously to get Josh out at that point was crucial. All the time I work with Eric (Simons).”

Josh Inglis of LSG made a stunning 85 in just 33 balls, and Overton dismissed him on the very first delivery of the ninth over as well. He also dismissed Rishabh Pant (15 off 12 balls) in the same over.

Talking about his mindset when the batters are batting aggressively, he said, “I think it’s relatively easy. It’s just trying to keep doing what you do well. Try not to get too involved in what the batter’s doing. They play good shots. They hit good balls for six and four. As long as you can control what you can, and that’s hitting the top of stumps and smashing my errors, then the rest of it is out of my control and just trying to keep it as simple as I can.”

On his fitness, Overton said, “Feeling good. I feel like I’ve niggles here and there, but yeah, we’ll keep pushing on.”
