Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is all set to face a major blow ahead of IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Thursday, May 29, at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh.
RCB has already been sweating over Josh Hazlewood’s fitness, and now Tim David is also unlikely to feature in Qualifier 1 against PBKS. Tim David picked up a hamstring injury during RCB’s IPL 2025 league match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The incident happened in the final over of SRH’s innings when David tried to stop a boundary and pulled up in pain while sprinting. David already missed his team’s last game against the Lucknow Super Giants, and now it seems that he has not yet recovered from the hamstring injury ahead of the crucial game.
