CSK vs LSG Live Score: Jamie Overton’s Triple-Wicket Over Jolts LSG at Chepauk

The “Chepauk Fortress” witnessed a dramatic shift in momentum during Match 53 of IPL 2026 as Jamie Overton produced a masterclass in death bowling for the Chennai Super Kings.

In a high-stakes encounter against the Lucknow Super Giants, Overton’s sensational three-wicket burst in the 18th over effectively derailed LSG’s hopes of a massive finish. The most significant blow came with the dismissal of Akshat Raghuwanshi, who was looking to anchor the lower-middle order before being outfoxed by Overton’s extra bounce.

Earlier in the afternoon, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and elected to field, citing a slightly damp surface. While LSG’s top order, led by a firing Josh Inglis, initially threatened to take the game away, Overton’s intervention reduced the visitors to 177/6 at the end of the 18th over. His ability to hit the deck hard and extract pace from a traditionally spin-friendly surface left the LSG batters scrambling for answers.

Despite the carnage at one end, Shahbaz Ahmed and Himmat Singh managed to steady the ship momentarily, stitching together a gritty partnership. The duo strategically targeted Mukesh Choudhary to keep the scoreboard ticking, forcing Gaikwad to reconsider his bowling rotations. However, with the total hovering around the 187-run mark in the final stages, the pressure remains squarely on the CSK openers, Sanju Samson and Ruturaj Gaikwad, to chase down what promises to be a challenging target under the Chennai sun.
