Yes, Devon Conway is eligible to play as an Impact Player for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL 2025. The Impact Player rule, introduced in IPL 2023 and continued through IPL 2025, allows teams to substitute one player from a pre-nominated list during a match to enhance strategic flexibility.
Conway, a key figure in CSK’s 2023 title-winning campaign and their leading run-scorer that season with 672 runs, was re-signed by CSK for INR 6.25 Crore at the 2025 TATA IPL Auction. Although he missed IPL 2024 due to injury, recent performances, such as a 97-run innings against South Africa, indicate his readiness for the current season.
However, it’s important to note that Conway was absent from CSK’s playing XI in their recent match against the Mumbai Indians. Reports suggest that New Zealand players, including Conway, might miss the start of IPL 2025 due to national commitments, such as the series against Pakistan. Therefore, his participation as an Impact Player in the upcoming match against RR will depend on his availability and the team’s strategic decisions.
