[WATCH] Tilak Varma, Jamie Overton share wholesome moment after heated tussle during last MI vs CSK clash

Tilak Varma and Jamie Overton shared a wholesome moment during the training session ahead of the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) away game against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, April 2. 

Both players had a heated argument on the field in the previous encounter played at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, April 23. During the 10th over of MI’s innings, Overton was prepared to bowl when his run-up was stopped by Varma, which did not go down well with the Englishman. When the two players came face-to-face at the non-striker’s end, they had a heated exchange of words, with Varma also seen making a frustrating gesture. 

However, it seems like both players have put their differences aside ahead of their second meeting on Saturday. In a video shared on MI’s social media platforms, Varma was seen having a chat with former teammate Dewald Brevis, where he notices Overton in the distance. The left-handed batter shouted Overton’s name twice to get his attention before asking if everything was good, to which the England all-rounder shared a big smile and made a thumbs-up gesture. 

The full video of Tilak Varma’s happy conversation with Jamie Overton can be seen below:

CSK vs MI is considered by many to be the biggest rivalry in the history of the IPL. Therefore, it is very common to see emotions running high on the field. The game at the Wankhede Stadium ended with CSK winning by a massive 103 runs over the hosts, thanks to Sanju Samson’s second IPL hundred of the season, hitting an unbeaten 101 off just 54 balls. 

In that particular game, Varma top-scored for MI by scoring 37 off 29 balls as Hardik Pandya’s side were bundled out for just 104 in the second innings. Overton, on the other hand, scored a quick-fire 15 with the bat and took one wicket.
