IPL 2025: Will Tim David Play Today in RCB vs LSG Match? Here’s the Latest Update

Tim David is likely to miss today’s match between RCB and LSG due to a hamstring injury.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their final league match of IPL 2025 at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, May 27.

This game is very important for RCB. A win here could help them finish in the top two on the points table, giving them two chances to qualify for the final. With Punjab Kings already securing one of the top two spots, RCB will be pushing hard in this match.

But one big question among fans is:

Will Tim David play today?

Tim David suffered a hamstring injury during RCB’s last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He pulled up while trying to stop a boundary and had to leave the field after calling the physio.

According to a report from ESPNcricinfo, David is likely to miss this match. His absence will be a big blow to RCB, especially with how well he has played this season.

Tim David’s Performance in IPL 2025

Tim David has been one of RCB’s best finishers this season. He has scored 187 runs from 9 innings at a strike rate of 185.14 — the highest in the team. He also has a half-century and an average of more than 62, making him the most effective lower-order batter in the tournament so far.

RCB will hope that he recovers before the playoffs because he has made a big impact with the bat. If David is not fit to play today, RCB might bring in either Liam Livingstone or Tim Seifert as a replacement.
