No total’s ever safe, no boundary is ever too big, no bowler is to be pardoned when Tim David’s in the mood. He’s a proper monster with bat in hand; ask our MI Paltan!

Singapore-born, Australia-raised, Tim is the son of former Singapore seamer, Rod David. It was in the 2017-18 season of the Big Bash League where his clean ball-striking capabilities first came to the fore. A call up to represent the Singapore national side soon followed, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer with 369 runs in five matches in the World Cup Challenge List A tournament.

Over the next couple of years, he was travelling around the globe, and became one of the most in-demand players in franchise cricket. The 2022 season saw some insanely quick cameos in the death overs for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL, and he finished with 186 runs in just 8 games. He’d done enough to catch the eye of the Aussie selectors, and he’d made the transition successfully from Associate cricket to playing with the big boys. In the 2023 IPL, he took his game up another notch, finishing games for fun, chasing down 200+ scores.  

With 209 runs in seven innings at an average of 52.25, he formed the mainstay of the MINY batting order in the 2023 MLC season, playing a huge role in the team's success. Coming in as a seasoned member of the Mumbai Indians OneFamily, he's all set to conquer America once again!
