CSK will be praying that his injury isn't too serious.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were dealt a major scare ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season as one of their star batters Devon Conway got struck badly in his forearm during the ongoing SA20 2025.
Playing for CSK’s sister franchise Joburg Super Kings, Conway received a strong blow while standing at the non-striker’s end after batter Faf du Plessis, using the full swing of his bat, bludgeoned an Eathan Bosch delivery at the Kiwi. The incident happened on the penultimate ball of the third over of the Super Kings’ innings against Pretoria Capitals.
The ball hit Conway’s right hand and ricocheted onto the stumps, as he could be seen wincing in pain. With no way to escape, Conway took the hit and the impact forced him to eventually leave the field.
The CSK and New Zealand opener returned to the dressing room with the physio for the time being, having retired hurt.
