“I’ve been hungry. Haven’t finished like that, so it was amazing. The team’s so excited. I am really pleased I took it. I’ve been hungry to finish off games like that.

I’ve been putting in some really hard work on the training field: Tim David

“It hasn’t come easily and it hasn’t felt like it is coming easy so far this season. When you get in that momentum, you’ve got to run with the moment. I’ve been putting in some really hard work on the training field in the last few weeks,” the MI batter reflected on his training.

Mumbai Indians needed 17 runs off the last over against experienced Rajasthan Royals‘ all-rounder Jason Holder. While it did look like a tough task, Tim David made sure to finish the game by hitting three consecutive sixes against the mighty all-rounder.

The MI franchise had bought Tim David in the mega auction ahead of the IPL 2022. However, he didn’t yield great results last year but the Rohit Sharma-led side kept backing him and it looks like he has started giving the returns of the time and effort invested into him by the Mumbai Indians franchise.

Tim David is known for his brutal strength and brilliant six-hitting ability. He has already smashed 12 sixes in the 93 balls he has faced till now in IPL 2023 and has already given nightmares to a few opponent bowlers.
