Depose and gain this extra run (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overthrow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'depose' is the first definition.
(I know that overthrow is a more specific form of the action depose)

'gain this extra run' is the second definition.
'overthrow' can be an answer for 'extra run' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overthrow that I've seen before include "Ruin" , "depose government" , "Defeat completely" , "Dethrone or oust" , "chance of another run" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
