Tim David’s signing by Mumbai Indians in the 2022 IPL auction verified two things. First, the game’s formats had diverged so much that a man without a state contract or first-class appearance could be worth so much. Second, David had become one of the world’s most sought-after T20 finishers over the past year.
David, a 6ft 5in middle-order hitter, was born in Singapore but raised in Western Australia. He attended Scotch College in Perth’s western suburbs. WA offered him a contract in 2018-19, Tim David Biography but he wasn’t a senior. He took the rejection in stride and focused on white-ball cricket, playing for Singapore and the Scorchers in the BBL.
Adam Griffith, former WA bowling coach, Tim David Biography . recruited him to Hobart Hurricanes in 2020-21. After a successful BBL season, Lahore Qalandars picked him for the second half of the PSL. He kept excelling, and contracts started coming: Surrey, Southern Brave, St Lucia Kings, RCB and Multan, then Mumbai. In IPL 2022, he faced 86 balls and struck 16 for six, concluding the season with the best strike rate for a batsman (min. 50 balls).
David has mostly batted as a finisher, but he has batted at No. 3 and aims to become a versatile T20 batter. He’s a genuine power-hitter like Kieron Pollard, his Mumbai Indians teammate in 2022. After a foot stress fracture during his rookie term at WA, he shifted from seam to spin and now bowls good offbreaks. He’s also a reliable defender at long-on or midwicket.
