BENGALURU: A late-over blitz featuring a 6, 2, 4, 6, 6, 6 run of outcomes proved decisive for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, consigning Chennai Super Kings to defeat. In the 19th over, Tim David turned the screw against pacer Jamie Overton, striking so cleanly that the tall Australian ended the spell with eight runs from the over. Across the night, five RCB batters struck 19 sixes in total, and David\u2019s contribution stood out as CSK\u2019s control slipped at the crucial moment.<\/p>\n

David\u2019s surge and CSK\u2019s narrow margins<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Tim David, who is a power-hitting finisher, began the contest with CSK able to keep him quiet for the first six balls after he walked in with 35 deliveries remaining.<\/li>\n
  2. Once he found his rhythm, he launched an assault that shifted momentum quickly and effectively altered the tempo of the match.<\/li>\n
  3. At one stage, RCB captain Rajat Patidar\u2014who had been getting going\u2014stepped back and watched as David took charge of the final phase.<\/li>\n
  4. Patidar later praised David, calling him \u201cone of the best finishers I have seen,\u201d after the explosive surge.<\/li>\n
  5. CSK did receive a brief lifeline when David was dismissed on 28, caught bowled off a no-ball delivered by Anshul Kamboj\u2014an opening that CSK would have wanted to convert into a bigger turning point.<\/li>\n
  6. However, Stephen Fleming\u2019s side could not tighten the game after that moment, with Fleming stressing that the margin for error against David is extremely small once he builds momentum.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Fleming acknowledged that once CSK fell behind, the match was always going to be difficult to manage against a batter with David\u2019s destructive ability. He said, \u201cAgainst a hitter like Tim David, who is very destructive, you\u2019ve got to be absolutely spot on. Once we fell behind, he got his rhythm. There\u2019s really small margins and with a good hitter like David, we\u2019ve got to be more exact than that. So we missed where we needed to be and we got hurt in hardest fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

    From injury setbacks to a statement start<\/h3>\n

    David\u2019s outing was also a reminder of his recent journey. Playing for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League, he had been ruled out on December 26 with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain. He returned for the T20 World Cup, but Australia suffered an early exit, and David\u2019s impact was limited\u2014he recorded scores of 0 and 6 against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

    Before the CSK game, David\u2019s IPL season began with a modest but unbeaten 16 off 10 balls against SRH. Against CSK, though, he exploded\u2014producing an unbeaten 70 off just 25 deliveries. That innings helped the defending champions register a 43-run win, with David\u2019s timing and clean power-hitting described as a complete masterclass, not merely a result-driven cameo.<\/p>\n

    He also reflected on his approach and preparation. During nets, David has frequently aimed balls towards the stands, and after the match he joked about it: \u201cI\u2019ve been getting into trouble during training with the boys. We have competitions to try and hit them on the roof and we\u2019re obviously on the side pitches. So, to get one during a match out of the middle, help it up on the roof, it was good fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

    David credited the clarity he gets through his work behind the scenes, particularly with Dinesh Karthik. \u201cWe do a lot of preparation. It\u2019s nice to work with DK. He is an experienced player in these conditions and has been in the IPL for many years. With that prep, you don\u2019t put pressure on yourself to perform,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n

    At the other end, Devdutt Padikkal admitted there was plenty to learn from David\u2019s batting method. \u201cI wish I could hit anywhere close to what he hits like. Just looking at the technique that he has, you can try and pick up things,\u201d Padikkal said, underscoring how David\u2019s clean execution left a lasting impression even on players from the losing side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
