New Zealand’s prolific opener Devon Conway was a key figure in CSK’s 2023 title-winning campaign. Conway was their leading run-scorer that season with 672 runs in 16 matches. Unfortunately, he missed IPL 2024 due to injury, but the CSK management’s decision to re-sign him for INR 6.25 Crore at the 2025 TATA IPL Auction speaks volumes about his reliability at the top order. His consistency and ability to switch gears will prove to be crucial in CSK’s aim to win their sixth IPL title.
