IPL 2025: 3 Players CSK might consider as backup for MS Dhoni

2. Devon Conway

There is no doubt that the New Zealand opener has become an asset for the team over the years. His knock in the final of IPL 2023 was testament to his ability to provide solid starts for the team. He had to miss the IPL 2024 due to a thumb injury and was released ahead of IPL 2025 auctions. But the management bought him back at the mega auctions.

Apart from his prolific batting, he is also a handy wicketkeeping option. He has proven his mettle by keeping for the Kiwis. Conway could be a long-term option, looking at he will be retained in the coming three years. He has kept wickets in 34 matches in his career and has orchestrated 31 wickets from behind the stumps, which includes 25 catches and six stumping dismissals.
