In video shared on IPL website, while talking to Tilak Varma, Tim David said, “This season I have been sitting and watching you and Surya (Suryakumar Yadav) smacking the ball around.” Varma, who has been the form player for much of the season for MI, finished the game unbeaten with David. The pair shared a stand of 62 runs in just 23 balls for the fifth wicket.

Explaining it further, Tim David said, “I am so excited to be having an impact and put in a performance for the team. It’s nice having your trust at the other end. Feeling amazing. Great to have gotten over the line, with your running down at the other end. Great feeling, can’t get better. Some days we have different rhythms. Today you weren’t in your rhythm but you played some important shots as well.”

David also joked that it is nice to give skipper, Rohit Sharma, who celebrated his 35th birthday on Sunday, a reason to be happy considering he hadn’t been able to perform consistently with the bat prior to the win against RR.
