Conway hit the gas pedal to help Chennai recover from a scratchy start after being invited to bat by Bangalore on a batting-friendly Chinnaswamy wicket, forging valuable partnerships with Ajinkya Rahane (37) and Shivam Dube (52) worth 74 and 80 runs respectively, laying the foundation for a sizeable first innings score for the four-time champions.
Conway, who collected three half-centuries for CSK last season including his personal best of 87, smashed six fours and as many sixes during his entertaining stay at the crease.
