The six that cleared the Chinnaswamy roof on Sunday night was 106 metres. It sent the Bengaluru crowd into a frenzy, broke whatever resistance CSK had left, and became the defining image of RCB’s dominant 250 for 3. What made it even better was what Tim David revealed afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They practise that exact shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have competitions to try and hit them on the roof and we’re obviously on the side pitches,” David said after the match. “So to get one during a match out of the middle is pretty pleasing. And Jamie’s bowling quicker at that stage. So, get on the one, help it up on the roof. It’s good fun.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jamie Overton, the bowler on the receiving end, would perhaps use different words to describe the experience. David hit him for 30 runs in a single over, the 19th of the innings, turning an already commanding total into something completely beyond reach for CSK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The knock itself was 70 off 25 balls, with eight sixes and three boundaries. David walked in after Devdutt Padikkal’s dismissal in the 15th over, with RCB already in a strong position. What followed was an exhibition of controlled destruction. He targeted the shorter boundaries, punished any error in length, and maintained a relentless tempo that never gave CSK’s bowlers a moment to settle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a slice of luck early, bowled off a no-ball, but David ensured CSK paid the full price for that reprieve. Batting coach Dinesh Karthik later described him as a naturally gifted striker whose power is sharpened through consistent and focused practice. The roof-hitting competitions in the Chinnaswamy nets are one such example of that preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCB eventually bowled CSK out for 207, completing a comprehensive victory. For CSK, it was another evening to forget. For David and RCB, it was a statement that the defending champions mean business again this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
