Devon Conway is a left-handed opening batsman from New Zealand, currently contracted with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Known for his elegant stroke play and composure at the crease, Conway has been a reliable top-order batter since making his IPL debut in 2022. He also represents New Zealand internationally across formats and plays domestic cricket for Wellington.
In IPL 2025 with Chennai Super Kings, Conway delivered consistent performances, accumulating over 400 runs in the season. He notched up several crucial half-centuries and played key innings in high-pressure chases, helping stabilize the top order. While not among the leading run-scorers, his ability to anchor innings and rotate strike made him a vital cog in CSK's batting lineup.
For the IPL 2026 mega auction, Conway is expected to attract interest from multiple franchises including Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Kolkata Knight Riders, who are seeking dependable openers. His capped status and base price of ₹2 crore position him as a strategic pick for teams needing experienced overseas batting options.
In IPL 2026, Conway is likely to reprise his role as a steady opener, providing solid starts and adapting to various conditions. Given his proven IPL pedigree and consistent international form, he is projected to fetch between ₹4-6 crore at the auction, depending on bidding wars among interested teams.
