Tim David spoiled Rajasthan Royals’ night with a hat-trick of sixes in the final over.
Tim David produced one of the best finishes in IPL 2023, courtesy of his three consecutive sixes off Jason Holder to win the game for Mumbai Indians. Needing 17 runs in the last over to win the game was never going to be easy, especially, against someone with a quality like Jason Holder who is well-known for his death bowling flair. Tonight was just not the game for him as the West Indian all-rounder missed his mark and paid the price. He ended up with the figures of 3.3-0-55-0 which is the third most expensive spell this season and the most costliest spell bowled by a Rajasthan Royals bowler this season.
Three full tosses to Tim David and he didn’t miss any. The first one was lofted straight down the ground for a maximum while the other two were clobbered over the mid-wicket region for two humongous sixes. Tim David came in to bat when the team required 61 runs in 26 balls. Tim struck more sixes than fours in his knock of 45* in just 14 balls.
