Tim David Key For RCB
Mumbai Indians (MI) will host RCB in a crucial game at the Wankhede Stadium on April 12, and Tim David will look to repeat his heroics against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). David was in brute form against the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side and blasted 70 in just 25 balls to help RCB thrash the five-time champions. David was roped in by the RCB for 3 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
RCB, MI Eye Return To Winning Ways
Meanwhile, the defending champions have been solid so far in IPL 2026, winning two and losing one game. They started the tournament with wins over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings, but suffered a big defeat to Rajasthan Royals in the last game. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, won against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) but then lost back-to-back games against Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).
