Quite a few breathtaking performances helped Mumbai Indians (MI) beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by six wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. However, apart from vital knocks from Suryakumar Yadav (29-ball 55) and Cameron Green (26-ball 44) which turned the match in the hosts’ favour, was Tim David’s unbeaten 45 off just 14 balls.
While chasing a target of 213, Singapore-born Australian batter David, 27, arrived at the crease after Suryakumar’s departure in the 16th over when MI had 152-4 on the board. David revealed how his hungry attitude made it possible to register MI’s fourth victory of the season.
“Last year was my first experience of the IPL and I was hungry to make a name for myself, to establish myself in the team. But now, every time I put on the shirt, I’m trying to win games for Mumbai. Whether it is communicating with the bowlers [or anything else], I’m just doing what’s needed for the team. To have a nice individual performance today [Sunday] feels amazing,” David said during the post-match press conference on Sunday night.
