Tim David unleashed a monstrous six-hitting clinic at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday night, burying a hapless Chennai Super Kings under an avalanche of runs as Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured their second straight win of IPL 2026.
The Australian, who walked in with 35 deliveries left, smoked a remarkable eight sixes on his way to a 25-ball 70 not out, on the back of which RCB amassed 97 in the last five overs to post a season-high 250-3. Never in the hunt, CSK were bowled out for 207, conceding a 43-run loss, their third defeat in a row.
