Tim David eyes comeback after recent decline
Royal Challengers Bangalore have four points this season with two wins and one loss. The defending champions started the season by defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). However, despite scoring huge scores they suffered a six-wicket defeat against Rajasthan Royals.
Captain Rajat Patidar led from the front by scoring 63 runs off 40 balls against Rajasthan Royals. Tim David could score only 13 runs in that match. His struggle was evident, especially considering his first impact in the tournament with a powerful innings.
David had earlier scored 70 runs in just 25 balls to help Royal Challengers Bangalore dominate Chennai Super Kings. That explosive innings played an important role in the victory and the team is hopeful that he will return to form in the upcoming match.
