Jamie Overton’s addition can help CSK in more ways as he is someone who can be the X-factor for the side a fast bowling all-rounder who is 6 ft 5 in height and offers variety by being able to hit the deck hard and extract extra bounce or even deceive batters with slower deliveries. He is no mug with the bat and has the potential to be the finisher that CSK has been searching for.
