Devon Conway is a composed yet attacking left-handed wicketkeeper-batter who has become one of New Zealand’s most reliable top-order players across all formats. The 34-year-old from Johannesburg made a remarkable journey to international cricket, moving to New Zealand at 26 after a decade in South African domestic cricket. His patience was rewarded when he made his Test debut for New Zealand in 2020, scoring a double century at Lord’s—becoming only the second player to achieve that feat on debut for the country. He followed that by becoming the fastest New Zealand batter to 1,000 Test runs, reaching the milestone in just 19 innings. Conway’s white-ball exploits are equally impressive, highlighted by a Player-of-the-Match performance in the 2023 IPL final for Chennai Super Kings, where he scored 672 runs at a strike rate of 139.7 to help CSK win their fifth title. His ability to shift gears quickly and adapt to match situations makes him one of the most versatile openers in world cricket.
