IPL 2024: DEVON CONWAY JOINS CSK TEAM AT CHEPAUK AFTER BEING RULED OUT OF SEASON
Star New Zealand batter, Devon Conway, joined the CSK squad at the Chepauk. Conway was ruled out of IPL 2024 due to a thumb injury, but has made a return to the team. A few days earlier, CSK had announced Conway's replacement as England's Richard Gleeson was added to the squad.Â
The CSK team shared a special picture of Conway, who was sitting on the pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The franchise captioned the post, "Dev at Anbuden."
The IPL had released a statement regarding the star New Zealand batter being ruled out of the tournament entirely. Earlier, he missed out on just the first half of the tournament. Conway underwent surgery to treat the injury which he picked up while playing in the T20I series for the Black Caps against Australia in New Zealand.

It has been learnt that Conway joined the CSK team for practice ahead of the T20 World Cup and to undergo rehabilitation after his surgery.Â

He had a brilliant run for CSK in their title-winning season, with 671 runs in 16 matches at an average of 51 and a strike rate of nearly 140.Â
