The auction for IPL 2026 was held on December 16 in Abu Dhabi, where the luck of some players shone and there were many who did not find any buyer. Among those who were not sold, one name was that of Devon Conway, who has now vented all his anger in a single match. He has created history by scoring 327 runs in the third Test against West Indies which started after the auction. Even though the format is red ball and not white ball in which IPL is played, but Devon Conway has shown what kind of form he is in by scoring 327 runs in a single test match.
