Tim David made an standout score for Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday, April 18, in Match 34 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. It was a contest between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS) that was reduced to 14 overs on account of rain, held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. RCB found some uneasy moments with the bat after they were invited to bat first, with wickets falling at regular intervals as they could only manage a meager 95 for 9 in just 14 overs. Their total could have even been less gory but for a few contributions in the lower order from Tim David and Rajat Patidar. Tim David remained 50 off 26 balls, with 5 fours and 3 sixes, while Rajat Patidar gave support with 23 off 18 balls that included a four and a six. RCB was deep into trouble, at 63/9 when David stepped in. It was a powerful knock from him and brought the team to a more competitive total with a first IPL half-century. David especially targeted spinners Harpreet Brar in the final over. After missing the first three balls, he hit the next three for sixes over long-off, deep square leg, and deep-point. Already walking away thinking it was one less delivery this over, he was called back because of a no-ball. For the last ball of his over, he attempted a big hit once more, missed it but still ran two runs, thus completing his first IPL fifty style. David's great form since joining RCB this season includes 22*(8) versus CSK, 32(18) versus GT, 1*(1) versus MI, 37*(20) versus DC, and just now, 50*(26) versus PBKS. This knock will see him firmly placed next to Dinesh Karthik in RCB's prestigious finishing club. Read also: What is the Cut-Off Time for RCB vs PBKS Match in IPL 2025? In their game against Rajasthan Royals on April 13, RCB put in a grand display to win by nine wickets at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. RCB put the Royals to bat first and confined them to a mere 173/4. A solid innings of 75 from Yashasvi Jaiswal led the Royals' innings, with Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag giving useful contributions. Rajat Patidar generally used six bowlers out of which four- bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Josh Hazlewood, and Krunal Pandya-took one wicket each. In reply, the RCB openers, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, attacked very early. Salt scored 65 off 33 balls, while Kohli held the innings with 62 off 45*n, making it his 100th T20 half-century. Meanwhile, a timely contribution by Devdutt Padikkal of 40 off 28 saw RCB chase down the target with just 17.3 overs bowled. The sloppy fielding cost Rajasthan dearly; they dropped Salt and Kohli early in that chase, and RCB exacted its revenge mercilessly.
