CSK threw a pre-wedding party for Conway before he left for SA. He posed with his teammates and a few players also shook a leg during the celebrations.
Conway had made his IPL debut for CSK in the opening game of IPL 2022 against Kolkata Knight Riders. He was dismissed for 3 before being dropped. Robin Uthappa and Ruturaj Gaikwad are being backed to do the opening job by the team management.
Meanwhile, CSK will continue the hunt for their 2nd win of the season when they face MI. The Ravindra Jadeja-led side has only managed 1 win from 6 matches and is reeling at the 9th spot in the points table. Every defeat will hurt CSK’s chances at this stage and they need to get their campaign back on track.
