During Chennai Super Kings’ match against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh, Devon Conway was retired out while the team was chasing a target of 200 runs. Conway was forced to leave the field in the 18th over, with an impressive score of 69 runs off just 49 deliveries. This rare occurrence of being retired out has only happened five times in the history of the IPL.
Conway now joins a short list of batters who have been dismissed in this manner, with R. Ashwin of Rajasthan Royals, Atharva Taide of Punjab Kings, and B. Sai Sudharsan of Gujarat Titans being the others. The New Zealand player is only the second batter to face this fate in the current season, with Tilak Varma of Mumbai Indians being the first to be retired out against Lucknow Super Giants.
Being retired out is an unusual occurrence in cricket, as it involves a player being removed from the game without being officially dismissed by the opposition team. It often happens due to injury or other unforeseen circumstances that prevent the player from continuing the match.
Despite Conway’s early departure from the game, Chennai Super Kings put up a valiant effort in their chase but ultimately fell short of the target set by Punjab Kings. The match was a thrilling display of cricketing skills and tactics, with both teams giving their all to secure a win.
