In a remarkable turn of events, ace Chennai Super Kings batter Devon Conway has completed 5000 runs in T20 cricket. The stylish southpaw from New Zealand achieved this phenomenal batting feat during CSK's ongoing IPL 2023 game against Punjab Kings. 

Conway was stranded on 4971 T20 runs before this game. So as soon as he scored his 29th run, the 31-year-old became the seventh Kiwi batter after Brendon McCullum, Colin Munro, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips and Ross Taylor to amass 5000 runs in T20s.
