Unable to trigger "mouseover" and "mouseout" events in IE11 in WebdriverIO

Injecting JavaScript snippet to trigger the "mouseover" and "mouseout" events. Works well with Chrome, Firefox and Safari (both locally and remotely).

For IE11, I can verify that it works in console. But when trying to automate it, throws error:

JavaScript error (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

Using: WebdriverIO - version 4.6.2

Code snippet:

 hoverOnChart: function(chartID, index) {
        browser.execute((chartID, index) => {
            $(`${chartID} g.amcharts-graph-column:nth-child(${index})`).trigger("mouseover");
        }, chartID, index);
    }

Note: In above scenario I am trying to hover on a chart which is created using amcharts JavaScript library.
