Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Tim David produced one of the standout moments of IPL 2026 when he hit a colossal 106-metre six against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday, April 5.
The brutal hit, which hit the roof of the stadium before flying off the ground, capped off a stunning late onslaught that turned an already strong RCB innings into a complete demolition job. David’s monster knock came in the nineteenth over off Jamie Overton in which he plundered 30 runs.

On the last ball, Overton hit one short around the wicket and David turned into the pull to center it sweetly. The ball first hit the roof of the stadium before flying out of the ground, capping off a breathtaking late cameo that helped RCB post a mammoth 250 for three.
But what happened to the ball after it left the stadium?
Fans standing in front of Chinnaswamy saw the ball fly out of the ground. When it finally landed on the road outside the stadium, one of them picked it up and left with it.
TIM DAVID ASSAULT ROCKS CSK
David remained unbeaten on a sensational 70 off just 25 balls, smashing three fours and eight sixes in a stunning knock of 280. It was a knock that came at just the right time for RCB, who were well placed but not yet out of sight before the Australian took complete control of the death overs.
When David stepped in after Devdutt Padikkal’s half-century, RCB were 151/3 in 14.1 overs. From there, he joined captain Rajat Patidar, who remained unbeaten on 48, as the duo tore CSK apart in the closing stages. Their unbroken stand was worth 99 runs off just 35 balls, a partnership that firmly put RCB in command.
In reply, CSK fought hard but never really recovered from the damage done in the final overs of RCB’s innings. They were bowled out for 207 in 19.4 overs, giving RCB a 43-run win. David was deservedly named man of the match for a strike that equaled destruction and spectacle.
After winning both their matches so far, RCB will look to continue their winning streak when they take on Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday, April 10.
