Tim David Sends Ball out of Chinnaswamy Enroute Explosive 70*(25) After Lifeline From Anshul Kamboj in RCB vs CSK IPL 2026 [WATCH]

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) big-hitter Tim David once again gave a testament to his tremendous six-hitting prowess by plundering an unbeaten 70*(25) in the match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) tonight (April 5) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2026). Interestingly, majority of his carnage in the RCB vs CSK clash came after getting a big lifeline from Anshul Kamboj.

What happened was on the penultimate ball of the 18th over when the Aussie was batting on 28, Kamboj bowled an excellent yorker at the leg-stump to castle Tim David. However, replays later confirmed that the CSK pacer had overstepped and it was a no-ball. David responded immediately on the free-hit with a six, which opened the gates for a batting decimation to follow.

Watch the video of the incident below.

On the very next over, Tim David took England and CSK all-rounder Jamie Overton to the cleaners by smacking him for a staggering 30 runs off the over. After completing his fifty with a six on the fourth ball of the 19th, Tim David flexed his muscles and launched a massive maximum that travelled 106m and beyond the roof of the Chinnaswamy stadium.

Here’s the video of the six.
