IPL 2025 ki ek intense match mein, RCB ke batters kaafi struggle kar rahe the. Pichle kuch overs mein, team 42/7 par pahuch gayi thi, aur phir 12th over tak unka score tha 63/9. Rain-hit match mein, RCB ko khud ko sambhalna tha. Jab lag raha tha ki wo ek aur disastrous collapse dekh rahe hain, Tim David ne sabko chhakka-mar diya!
David ne Harpreet Brar ke last over mein teen consecutive sixes maar kar RCB ko 14-over match mein 95/9 tak pahuchaya. Chhoti si yeh innings RCB ke liye ek hope thi, lekin unhe 5-wicket defeat ke saath ghar par harna pada. Fir bhi, David ko ‘Player of the Match’ declare kiya gaya.
David se jab unke batting position ke baare mein poocha gaya, toh unhone kaafi simple jawab diya.
“Humare coaching staff aur management ne squad ko ek certain tareeke se banaya hai. Main khush hoon apni form se aur agar mujhe opportunity mili, toh main apne team ke liye contribute karunga. Kabhi-kabhi jab aap zyada try karte ho, toh performance nahi aata. Bangalore mein kabhi-kabhi bowlers ke saath batting karna challenge hota hai. Aaj ka match tough tha, kyunki risks ko manage karna padta tha,” Tim David ne broadcaster se kaha.
Match ke baad, Tim David ne apne maiden #TATAIPL fifty ka bhi celebration kiya, jisme unhone Harpreet Brar ke against consecutive sixes maar kar stadium mein dhamaka kar diya.

RCB ke ghar par performances ko lekar David ne bhi admit kiya ke team ko apna game plan improve karna hoga. Unhone kaha,
“Har match mein alag conditions ka saamna ho raha hai. Aaj rain ki wajah se pitch thoda unpredictable tha. Hum ghar par achha nahi khel paaye hain, aur humein apna template dhundhna hoga jisse hum apne ghar par jeet sakein.”
Pitch ko le kar bhi David ne apne thoughts share kiye. Unhone kaha,
“Yeh pitch bilkul asaan nahi thi. Mujhe laga ki jo early dismissals the, unhone mujhe pitch ke baare mein bata diya tha. Practice pitches bhi similar thi, isliye main apni strategy banane ki koshish kar raha tha.”
RCB ab tak 7 matches mein se 4 jeet chuki hai aur wo points table par 4th position par hain. Ab unke paas apni home defeat ka revenge lene ka mauka hoga jab wo 20 April ko PBKS ke against away match khelne jayenge.
