Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are set to face each other in their last league match of IPL 2025. The game will be held at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, May 27.

This match is a big one for RCB. If they win, they have a chance to finish in the top two on the points table. That would give them two shots at reaching the final. Punjab Kings have already locked in one of those top spots, so RCB are fighting hard to grab the other.But there’s one big question on fans’ minds: 

Is Tim David Fit To Play Today's IPL 2025 Match?

Unfortunately, it appears unlikely. The big-hitting middle-order batter picked up a hamstring injury during RCB’s previous game against SRH. While attempting to stop a boundary late in the innings, David immediately called for the physio and was forced to leave the field.

Unfortunately, it appears unlikely. The big-hitting middle-order batter picked up a hamstring injury during RCB’s previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. While attempting to stop a boundary late in the innings, David immediately called for the physio and was forced to leave the field.

As per a report from ESPNcricinfo, Tim David is expected to sit out this crucial fixture, a major setback for RCB, given his consistent performances with the bat this season.

He has scored 187 runs in 9 innings with a super high strike rate of 185.14, the highest in the team. He even scored a half-century and has been very consistent, averaging over 62 runs per dismissal. No other batter in IPL 2025, batting lower than number 3, has been more effective than him.

RCB will be hoping he recovers in time for the playoffs because he’s been a game-changer for them.

If Tim David doesn’t play today, RCB may bring in Liam Livingstone or Tim Seifert as a replacement.
