Tim David is a Singaporean-Australian cricketer who represents Singapore at the national level. He made his debut for the team in July 2019.

David made his List A debut for Singapore in the Cricket World Cup Challenge League where he ended up as the top-scorer of the tournament with 369 runs in five matches.

David has played for Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL). He has also represented Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans (PSL 2022 season) in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Apart from that, he has made appearances in England’s domestic tournament, T20 Blast. Last year, he was signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the second leg of the IPL 2021 season that was held in the UAE.

He was subsequently released by the franchise into the auction pool and was picked up by Mumbai Indians (MI) in the IPL 2022 mega auction for a whopping INR 8.25 crores.

Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants, and Rajasthan Royals were involved in a heated battle for the all-rounder’s services. As the price increased, MI swooped in.

They had a large purse compared to the rest and were able to outbid the rest of the franchises, eventually putting up the winning bid of INR 8.25 crores.
