IPL 2026: Overton Deserved Player Of The Match Award In CSK’s Win Over DC, Opines Jaffer
Chennai Super Kings: Former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes England seam-bowling all-rounder Jamie Overton was more deserving of the Player of the Match award than centurion Sanju Samson in Chennai Super Kings beating Delhi Capitals by 23 runs, adding that his spell was the point of difference in the five-time winners getting their first win of IPL 2026.
Samson was given the award for hitting an unbeaten 115 off 56 balls, while Overton’s figures of 4-18 on a batting-friendly surface ensured DC were bowled out for 189. "According to me, it should have been Overton. If he didn't get the spell, CSK wouldn't have won. Because he got very important wickets. In four overs, just 18 runs, where the target was 210. I thought the point of difference was that.
"Although, if Sanju didn't get the innings, (CSK) wouldn't have scored so many runs (212 for 2). So it was very difficult (to decide). But in such a big game, where batting is easy, I think Overton should have been given (the player of the match award)," said Jaffer on ESPNCricinfo.
