Devon Conway, the rising star of New Zealand is in the form of his life. Playing his debut test match &amp; scoring a test double-hundred against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/difficult-to-predict-the-winner-but-advantage-with-new-zealand-due-to-england-series-gautam-gambhir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England </a>in Lords is no cakewalk. He followed that by a knock of 80 runs off 143 balls in the 2nd match in Edgbaston. He played a crucial part in New Zealand&#8217;s 1-0 victory over England &amp; was also awarded the player of the series as well.

His T20I career is also on a high as he has played in 14 matches, scoring 473 runs at an average of 59.12 &amp; a scintillating strike rate of 151.12. He has four fifties in his kitty already with the highest score of 99* against Australia in Christchurch. He also is the 1st NZ batsman to score 5 consecutive fifties in T20 cricket. Prior to this innings, the left-handed batsman&#8217;s previous four T20 scores were &#8211; 93*, 91*, 69, 50 in the Super Smash.

The combination of average and strike rate is deadly &amp; any team in the world would benefit from it. The dashing batsman also looks comfortable with the new ball &amp; spin in the middle overs which is a perfect recipe for success at the international level. Hence, let&#8217;s take a look at-

Teams that might sign Devon Conway in IPL 2021

With the possible absence of their captain Eoin Morgan, Conway could be a great pick for them. He can provide the necessary strength &amp; stability at the number 4 position which was secured by Morgan. This would help the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/fire-and-ice-apt-way-to-describe-virat-kohli-and-kane-williamson-dinesh-karthik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dinesh Karthik </a>&amp; Andre Russell to unleash themselves during the death overs.

He can even open the batting with Shubman Gill which may take the pressure away from Gill of controlling the innings &amp; help him play his natural attacking way. Nitish Rana &amp; Rahul Tripathi could go one position down the order each for the balance of the team. This will cater to their right-left opening combination which they want as this is one of the main reasons why Nitish Rana has been opening the batting instead of Rahul Tripathi.

Even though his fellow New Zealand teammate &amp; wicket-keeper Tim Seifert already plays for KKR, the left-hander will provide both options of opening &amp; playing in the middle order complemented by his current form, is confirmed slot in this KKR lineup.

Jos Buttler had defined RR&#8217;s batting since the 2018 season scoring over 1400 runs with an avg of over 40 &amp; a strike rate of touch over 150. With the speculation of the absence of England players, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rr-rajasthan-royals/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RR</a> will be the most affected as Buttler&#8217;s contribution to RR has been exceptional.

Conway is one of the few players in world cricket who can fill the humongous gap created by the absence of Buttler. He, with the likes of Sanju Samson &amp; David Miller, can demolish any attack on their day. He can even keep wickets in case something happens to Sanju Samson which is a nice cushion to have in the playing 11.

RR have not been able to shine amid the top slots in the previous years and their combination is often blamed. The inclusion of Conway may solve several issues for them, going ahead.

The Warner-Bairstow duo has been one of the most, if not the most successful opening pairs in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> over the past few years, seasons scoring more than half of the team&#8217;s runs since 2019. SRH will also miss the keeping services of Jonny Bairstow along with his power-hitting prowess.

Conway can be a perfect replacement for Jonny Bairstow as he can open as well as play at 4, the kind of flexibility SRH can use to its advantage. Even though SRH has the Indian wicketkeeper, Wriddhiman Saha in their ranks, the extra cushion of having an in-form foreign keeper-batsman who can bat at any position as per the team requirement wouldn&#8217;t hurt at all!

You must be wondering that one of the reasons why Warner-Bairstow were successful is because of the right-left combo. Yes, that is true to some extent. However, the Warner-Dhawan duo was one of the most successful opening pairs during their time as well &amp; their immense contribution helped SRH win their 1st IPL title in 2016. So, a Conway-Warner (left-left) opening pair might be lucky for them again.
