New Zealand cricketer Devon Conway, who has played all Indian Premier League matches for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), became the 100th batter to record 1000 IPL runs. With this milestone, Conway entered a prestigious record book. 

On Tuesday night (April 8), Punjab Kings hosted Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 match at Mullanpur. After PBKS chose to bat first, they scored 219/6 in 20 overs. While most of the Punjab Kings batters were struggling, the 24-year-old opener Priyansh Arya stunned with his 42-ball 103 runs, while middle-order batters Shashank Singh (52*) and Marco Jansen (34*) added valuable runs. 

In reply, despite CSK openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway providing a strong start in the powerplay, with a 61-run partnership in 6.3 overs for the first wicket, CSK lost the match by 18 runs as they managed to score 201/5 in 20 overs.
