IPL 2021: 3 Teams that would look to sign Devon Conway
Devon Conway marked a magical Test debut playing against England recently.
3. Sunrisers Hyderabad
The Warner-Bairstow duo has been one of the most, if not the most successful opening pairs in the IPL over the past few years, seasons scoring more than half of the team’s runs since 2019. SRH will also miss the keeping services of Jonny Bairstow along with his power-hitting prowess.
Conway can be a perfect replacement for Jonny Bairstow as he can open as well as play at 4, the kind of flexibility SRH can use to its advantage. Even though SRH has the Indian wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha in their ranks, the extra cushion of having an in-form foreign keeper-batsman who can bat at any position as per the team requirement wouldn’t hurt at all!
You must be wondering that one of the reasons why Warner-Bairstow were successful is because of the right-left combo. Yes, that is true to some extent. However, the Warner-Dhawan duo was one of the most successful opening pairs during their time as well & their immense contribution helped SRH win their 1st IPL title in 2016. So, a Conway-Warner (left-left) opening pair might be lucky for them again.
