Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he had advised a few IPL teams, possibly Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as well, to go for Tim David at the IPL 2025 mega auction, but none of them took his suggestion seriously, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) grabbed the opportunity.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) had joined the bidding war briefly but dropped out early. After joining the RCB, the Australian big hitter proved his worth in style.
David played the finisher’s role and scored 187 runs at a remarkable average of 62.33 and an explosive strike rate of 185.15. His quick scoring in crunch moments added a valuable edge to RCB’s batting firepower and helped them win the title.
Tim David was a real steal for RCB: Ravichandran Ashwin
Furthermore, Ravichandran Ashwin praised RCB for taking the gamble, which has already proven to be a bargain deal for only INR 3 crore, given the Australian power hitter’s explosive form with the bat in 2025. Notably, David has been in sensational touch for Australia this year.
Ravichandran Ashwin signed off by saying, “A player RCB picked up at base price (INR 3 crore) has taken his game to the next level. It's good to see Australia sending him up the order. A real steal for RCB.”
Tim David says Australia’s fearless approach will continue in T20Is
Meanwhile, Australia’s T20 side continued with their fearless and attacking cricket encouraged by the coaches. And Tim David has been the best example of this approach. The powerful batter smashed 83 runs from just 53 balls, leading Australia to a 17-run win over South Africa.
David said after being adjudged Player of the Match in Darwin: “We’ve been playing together as a group now for a while, so there’s not a great deal of instruction from the coaches. They trust the players. We trust ourselves to go out there, and we understand the game situation. We make decisions on the fly because that’s the nature of T20 cricket. You can probably expect to see that a little bit from our team. That’s how we think we play best.”
