Tim David profile and biography, stats, records, averages, photos and videos
Mumbai Indians' decision to sign Tim David for INR 8.25 crore (AUD 1.5 million) at the 2022 IPL auction confirmed two things. Firstly, that the game's formats had diverged so much that a man without a state contract or even a first-class appearance to his name could be worth such a sum; and...

Born in Singapore to a former Singapore cricketer, moved back to Australia when he was ~2 or so.
Started his professional cricketing career with the Perth Scorchers where on his second ball he nervelessly bopped WTC Champion Will Somerville over long on for a big six. Rather unjustly, he would only get 2 more batting opportunities that season where he played a couple of cameos.
Discarded for the BBL 18/19 and 19/20 season, he decided to return to Singapore for a shot an international cricket.
In that period he played 14 T20Is and scored 588 runs at an average of 46.5 and SR of 158, in the process achieving the following for himself/Singapore:
- Beating Zimbabwe in a T20I
- Beating Scotland in a T20I
- Beating Hong Kong in a T20I (not a big achievement but it's good to rub it in @cnerd123)
- Rank 20 in T20Is, which means if it sustains we qualify for the 2024 T20 WC unless there's a qualification pathway which robs us
- 3rd highest T20I strike rate
Since then he's gone on to play in nearly all the major T20 franchise comps around the world, including the BBL, CPL, PSL and even the Hundred. Most recently, he's been added to the RCB squad in the IPL.
Some numbers:
Tournament/Format | Runs | Average | SR |
---|---|---|---|
Royal London One-Day Cup 2021 | 340 | 68.00 | 150.44 |
BBL 20/21 | 279 | 31.00 | 153.29 |
PSL 20/21 | 180 | 45.00 | 166.66 |
T20 Career | 1,242 | 36.52 | 157.41 |
List A Career | 709 | 78.77 | 121.82 |
Other notable mentions include an appearance in the finals for the The Hundred where he hit 15(6) in the finals and effected a match winning run out and diving catch.
Just yesterday he scored 56 (28) in a CPL game for the St Lucia Kings out of a total of 135.
Fully expect him to replace Steve Smith soon and take over Australian captaincy from the pathetic Tim Paine.
