Players like Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell could come into the starting XI to replace Conway, but who are the players CSK can sign as an injury replacement?

Devon Conway ruled out of IPL 2024: Three players who CSK can sign as a replacement
According to the IPL rules, CSK are allowed to sign a player as cover before or during IPL 2024. However, only players who registered for the auction in December 2023 are eligible to be signed in this fashion. In addition, CSK have fulfilled their maximum quota of 17 Indian players, meaning they can only sign an overseas player to replace Conway in the squad.
Finn Allen
After CSK signed Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell in December, adding to their Kiwi contingent of Conway and Mitchell Santner, some fans dubbed them ‘Chennai Super Kiwis’. They could sign another one as Conway’s replacement.
Finn Allen opens the batting with Conway for New Zealand, and was released by Royal Challengers Bangalore last year. The 24-year-old has established himself as a bludgeoning presence at the top of the order, and has the highest strike-rate in T20 history of opener with 50 innings or more.

Reeza Hendricks
South African Reeza Hendricks played a couple of games at the 2023 World Cup in place of the injured Temba Bavuma and impressed one and all. He went unsold in the IPL 2024 auction, but CSK could give him a way into the tournament.
Hendricks plays for CSK’s sister franchise Joburg Super Kings in SA20. While he had an underwhelming campaign this season, the India Cements-owned franchise might prefer allowing an experienced player whom they know well.
Josh Inglis
While Conway does not keep wickets for CSK, he is an option they always retain in their starting XI. As a result, if CSK are looking for a like-for-like replacement, Australian keeper Josh Inglis could be a name they look at as a real option.
Inglis brings with him the flexibility to open the innings or bat down the order, making an impact either way. When opening, he has played 50 innings, scoring 1411 runs at a strike rate of 151; an impressive record. CSK’s only concern will be his ability to play on slower wickets in Chennai but could be willing to take a punt on him.
