Chennai Super Kings: In the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings have shown good performance so far under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad, but the upcoming matches are going to be difficult for the team. Because, two big players had to be out of the tournament one after the other.

First, the explosive fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was out for half the season and now a veteran batsman has to be ruled out of IPL 2024. Let us tell you who is this batsman and who has the yellow jersey team recruited in his place in his place?

This legend is out from Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings opener Devon Conway was out of the initial matches of IPL due to a thumb injury. But now considering the severity of his injury, he has to be out of the entire season. He suffered a thumb injury during the match played between New Zealand and Australia in February, after which he had to undergo surgery. It was believed that Conway would recover by May, but that did not happen.

Chennai Super Kings have included England fast bowler Richard Gleeson in place of Devon Conway. Actually, Mustafizur Rahman will return to Bangladesh after May 1. In such a situation, Richard will strengthen the fast bowling attack of CSK.

Devon Conway was in great form

Devon Conway's exit from IPL 2024 is a big blow for Chennai Super Kings. He had made an important contribution in making the team champion last season. The left-handed batsman scored 672 runs in IPL 2023 at an impressive average of 51.69 and strike rate of 139.71. During this period, 6 half-centuries also came from his bat.

Earlier, his performance in IPL 2022 was also good. The Kiwi batsman had scored 252 runs in 7 matches with the help of 3 half-centuries. During this period, he scored runs at an average of 42 and strike rate of 145.66.

This has been the journey of Chennai Super Kings

The journey of IPL 2024 has been good so far for Chennai Super Kings. He has won 4 out of 7 matches played this season, while he had to face defeat in 2. The yellow jersey team first won 2 back to back matches by defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans, but after that they had to face 2 consecutive defeats against Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
