Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been struck a big blow ahead of the Indian Premier League 2024, as opener <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/devon-conway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Devon Conway</a> is expected to miss at least the first half of the season after undergoing surgery on his fractured left thumb. <o:p></o:p>Conway has been a standout performer for the franchise since signing in 2022. He played seven games in the first season, collecting 252 runs at an average of 42, then nearly tripled that total in 14 games in 2023, scoring 672 runs at 51.69 in the title chase.<o:p></o:p>
There is a chance that the defending champions might look for a replacement player for Conway out of the list of unsold ones in the IPL 2024 auction. In this article, we will take a look at three players who can bring the same value to the CSK team in the absence of New Zealander Conway.<o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Here are 3 players who can replace Devon Conway in CSK squad for IPL 2024:<o:p></o:p></h2>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">3. Dawid Malan<o:p></o:p></h3>

England’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/dawid-malan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dawid Malan</a> was once the batter who reigned supreme at no.1 in the ICC T20I rankings. He has played 62 T20Is, scoring 1892 runs at a strike rate of 132.49 with one century and 16 fifties. Overall, he has played 330 T20 matches, scoring 8981 runs with 5 tons and a strike rate of 129.48. The left-hander has played only one match in the IPL, for Punjab Kings in IPL 2021, and scored 26 runs.<o:p></o:p>
Despite his phenomenal T20 record, Malan has not been a favourite of IPL franchises. However, CSK is known to pick players who, others don’t value and Malan could be a perfect replacement for southpaw Devon Conway. Left-handed Malan is perfect against the pacers and has apt technique against spin, especially with 7 matches to be played at Chepauk.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">2. Rassie van der Dussen<o:p></o:p></h3>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rassie-van-der-dussen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rassie van der Dussen</a> has played in the Indian Premier League only once for the Rajasthan Royals and he didn’t get the opportunity to showcase his talent. His full ability was on display in the recent ICC World Cup 2023 where he hammered 2 centuries in his 433 runs in 10 matches. He is also having a gala time in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024) for Lahore Qalandars. <o:p></o:p>
He is carrying the Qalandars’ batting line-up on his shoulders. To date, van der Dussen has made 300 runs in 6 matches for LQ with one century and 2 fifties. He is second on the list behind Babar Azam in most runs in PSL 2024 and CSK can use his good form in IPL 2024 as well. Dussen is a good player of spin as well and can give a good start at the top while opening the batting.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">1. Phil Salt</h3>

England’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/philip-salt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phil Salt</a> was a surprise unsold player in the IPL 2024 auction, as he had lit the recent T20I series with two centuries to his name. He has 639 runs in 21 T20Is for England with two tons and two fifties and has the highest score of 119. His super-impressive strike rate of 165.27 makes him a no-brainer choice at the top to utilize full advantage of field restrictions. 
In 228 20-over games, the explosive stumper-batter has 5,302 runs with 2 centuries and a strike rate of 153.41. <o:p></o:p>Being an opener, the Englishman can be used by MS Dhoni as a good partner for Gaikwad. Playing for Delhi Capitals in 2023, the wicketkeeper-batter made 218 runs, while having a decent average of 27.25, although the Capitals had a forgettable campaign.
