IPL 2025: Nick Knight Questions CSK's Tactical Shake-up, Calls For Gaikwad-Conway Reunion
Chennai Super Kings: Former England opener Nick Knight has criticized Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) decision to break up their successful opening partnership of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway in IPL 2025.
Gaikwad, who opened alongside Conway during CSK’s title-winning campaign in 2023, has been pushed down to No. 3 in the first two games, with Rahul Tripathi partnering Rachin Ravindra at the top. However, Gaikwad has been coming in early, often within the second over, leading Knight to believe CSK have "tried to fix something that wasn't broken."
"In my top order, I'd have Devon Conway. I'm surprised he's not playing," Knight told ESPNCricinfo . "I'd play both of them [Conway and Rachin]. I just feel that Gaikwad and Conway at the top is tried and tested. Conway has a terrific record."
