In the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, this batsman was bought with a hefty amount of Rs 8.25 crore, but initially did not get enough opportunities and then when the turn came, the bowlers were blown away.
The most talked about two batsmen in IPL 2022 – Rajasthan Royals veteran opener Jos Buttler and Liam Livingston. Incidentally, both the batsmen are from England and have shown great batting skills this season. Like these two or say more dangerous batting than these two, few batsmen have done this season. The name of Andre Russell comes in this, who has been playing in the IPL for a long time and is performing like this. Now a new name has also been added to this list, who after sitting out for a few matches, shook the league with his explosive batting in the next few matches. This batsman is – Tim David.
The start of the IPL 2022 season for Australia batsman Tim David was not as expected, but the end was as expected. Mumbai Indians bought Tim David in a big auction after spending 8.25 crores, but after just two matches, he was seated for the next 6 matches. When the team lost 8 matches in a row, David came back and Mumbai won 4 out of the next 6 matches, in which David played an important role.
When I didn’t get a chance from Mumbai….
David has now reached Manchester directly from Mumbai, where he will rain fire in England’s T20 tournament T20 Blast. The decision to oust David after just two matches was heavy on Mumbai, but how this batsman was feeling at that time, he gave his views in a conversation with the cricket website ESPN-Cricinfo. David said,
This was not the ideal (situation). This team was related to balance…I felt like I was batting well. Personally it was quite frustrating but you can’t see it any other way, and I knew it was my job to be ready to return to the team. I am happy that when I came, I grabbed that opportunity.
Strike rate of 216, 16 sixes… the secret of David’s batting?
The Mumbai Indians batsman scored 186 runs in 8 innings at an average of 37.2 and an astonishing strike rate of 216, which included 16 sixes. In this, 43 runs were made in 18 balls against Delhi Capitals in the last match, which gave Mumbai victory and Delhi got out. 26-year-old David is currently the fastest rising explosive batsman in world cricket. Then what is the mantra of his such explosive batting? How does he maintain his batting style? Explaining its secret, he says, the simplest idea is to get as many runs as possible in the least number of balls. Look at it, keep your mind blank and be aggressive.
