RCB's Tim David Joins Yuvraj, ABD in Six-Hitting Elite
6 Apr
Summary
- Tim David hit eight sixes, tied for second-most by an RCB player at No. 5 or lower.
- Yuvraj Singh holds the record with nine sixes at No. 5 or lower for RCB.
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted 250/3, the season's highest total, against CSK.

Tim David's late surge with the bat powered Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a commanding total of 250/3 against Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. His aggressive innings, which included eight sixes, is now the joint second-highest tally for an RCB batter batting at No. 5 or lower in an IPL match, all achieved at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
This remarkable feat places David in elite company, equaling AB de Villiers' record and trailing only Yuvraj Singh, who hit nine sixes in a similar position in 2014. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium's conditions have consistently favoured aggressive batting, particularly in the death overs, as demonstrated by these historic performances.
The combined efforts of David, who scored 70 off 25 balls, Devdutt Padikkal (50 off 29), and Rajat Patidar (unbeaten 48 off 19) led to a stunning 97 runs in the final five overs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru ultimately secured a 43-run victory, marking their highest total of the current IPL season.
