RCB Latest News and Gossips: Tim David coming at 8th position is not helping RCB

This is the second time that Royal Challengers Bangalore have failed to punch a good target in the 1st innings in IPL season 2025 in their home ground of Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The ending order of batting lineup needs to be rethought with talented and explosive batters like Tim David being in the team.

Tim David comes in to bat at 8th position, which is during the death overs with a few balls left in hand.

The batter can come a bit early to form a good partnership with Rajat Patidar or Livingstone, as he is capable of big sixes.

Tim David showed an amazing performance against Chennai Super Kings, where he made 22 runs in just 8 balls which turned the game at the end of RCB’s innings.

Royal Challengers Bangalore needs this explosive acceleration, which will bring in a big total for the team in their batting spree.

Jitesh Sharma and Krunal Pandya can follow Tim David to manage the death overs and finish the game in case many wickets have been lost.

Rajat Patidar is the captain of RCB for the first season which has made fans to expect new thinking and strategies from his side as a young captain of such a big franchise.

It will be interesting to see if Royal Challengers Bangalore rethinks about pushing Tim David’s position upwards for some matches to experiment with their total scores.
