Tim David, the hard-hitting finisher for Hobart Hurricanes and the latest Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) recruit, put on a breathtaking display of power-hitting in the Big Bash League (BBL).

The stylish batter smashed a sensational 22-ball fifty against Adelaide Strikers, leaving the opposition bowlers in tatters and proving why he’s regarded as one of the most dangerous finishers in world cricket.

Coming in at number six with the Hurricanes chasing a challenging target, David initially took his time to settle in. However, once he got going, there was no stopping him. In a span of just seven balls, David hammered four massive sixes, putting the Adelaide bowlers under immense pressure.

When he reached 46 off 21 balls, Lloyd Pope bowled a short delivery, and David, in his signature style, rocked back and launched it over deep square leg for a monstrous six, bringing up his fifty in just 22 balls.

David’s blistering knock didn’t stop there. He remained unbeaten on 62 off 28 deliveries, smashing three fours and six towering sixes. His breathtaking innings ensured that Hobart Hurricanes chased down the target with five wickets in hand.

This explosive performance comes as exciting news for RCB fans. Tim David was signed by Bengaluru for ₹3 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction held in Jeddah. The franchise engaged in a bidding war with Sunrisers Hyderabad before securing the services of the Australian powerhouse.

For a team still in search of their maiden IPL title, David’s inclusion adds much-needed firepower to their middle order. RCB has often fallen short in crunch situations, and a player like Tim David, with his ability to win matches single-handedly, could be the missing piece in their puzzle.
