After seven unsuccessful bids for various players, in particular bowlers, CSK managed to pick Conway as their first player at the auction.
With the return of Conway, CSK's opening problem has been solved as the Kiwi will once again partner captain Ruturaj Gaikwad at the top.
Apart from Conway, CSK signed Rahul Tripathi for ₹3.4 crore after a tussle with Kolkata Knight Riders.
Meanwhile, what was pleasing for the CSK management was the return of Rachin Ravindra through RTM after Punjab Kings sealed him for ₹4 crore.
With CSK having retained the likes of Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, their batting has a lot of class and experience in them.
Former National selector and India player Venkatapathy Raju said that the depth will help CSK flourish.
