Good win for us as a group,\u201d<\/em> said \u2018Player of the Match\u2019 Conway in the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n \u201cMy recipe is quite simple \u2013 try and play good cricket shots. When I\u2019m under pressure, just try and react and take options that are best for me. I don\u2019t wanna be too predictable. Just using my crease to try and put bowlers off their lengths. Second year playing for CSK, it\u2019s been special. The support is phenomenal, they are loyal as well.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMakes it a lot better when you have MS Dhoni in your team too.
