Tim David's Explosive Batting Propels Australia and RCB to Glory

As of August 16, 2025, Tim David has firmly established himself as one of the world's premier T20 cricketers. The powerful Australian middle-order batter has been a dominant force both for his national team and in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

This year, David has been exceptional for Australia, scoring 265 runs in four innings at an average of 88.33 and a strike rate of 212.00, including a century and two fifties. He has been particularly destructive, smashing 15 fours and 27 sixes for the Aussies.

David's performances have also been crucial to the success of his IPL franchise, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). During their maiden IPL title win, he contributed significantly to the team's batting lineup, scoring 187 valuable runs in nine innings at an average of 62.33 and an impressive strike rate of 185.14. His standout performance was an unbeaten 50 off 26 balls, including five fours and three sixes, in a rain-affected match.

With his ability to combine audacity with calculated risks, David has emerged as a formidable force in the T20 format. His prowess as a death-overs finisher is well-known, and he continues to be a major threat for opposition teams both in international cricket and domestic T20 leagues around the world.
