India beat Australia 2-1 in the three-match Twenty20 International series. Despite losing the series, Australia ended up finding Tim David, who impressed everyone with an incredible innings in the third match to help Australia reach a competitive score of 187/6.

David made his T20I debut for Australia against India, scoring 74 runs in three games at a strike rate of170. Despite the fact that Australia lost the third T20I, former Australians and fans are praising 26-year-old David’s innings. In the ICC review, Gilchrist said that David should be included in Australia’s World Cup playing XI.

“Tim David Should Have A Place In The Australian XI”- Adam Gilchrist

Speaking to the ICC, the former player said, “Tim David should have a place in that XI.” The legendary wicketkeeper-batter remarked that the opposition teams would fear the big hitter.

“His power and the way he has taken it on…and seeing what we have seen from him over the last 18 months all around the world, it is really in all different conditions and they (opposition teams) will fear him coming in. It is a role that Australia have never really tried to fill, having someone who knows they are only going to get 15 or 20 balls (to make an impact), “he further added.

However, Tim David has secured his place in the T20 World Cup with his recent performances and is expected to replace Marcus Stoinis in the middle order.

“Marcus Stoinis seems to be the man under pressure at the moment. But I think Tim David should have a place in that XI. Unfortunately, that best XI is going to have 12 players in it and I don’t know who I am going to leave out.”
