World’s Most Busiest Cricketer: 8 leagues in 9 months, RCB’s new recruit Tim David is the busiest cricketer in the world
IPL 2021 – World’s Most Busiest Cricketer: While Tim David was grounded for most of 2020 due to the pandemic, there has been a windfall of opportunities for the Singapore hard-hitter over the past nine months. The 25-year-old will join up with the RCB camp for the IPL 2021 Phase 2, having featured in the CPL 2021 final, where his St Lucia Kings lost to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Speaking ahead of that game, David said, “It’s nice to be representing a lot of the associate players and showing that a player not from Test playing nations can do really good things at a higher level of cricket.”
Over the last nine months, Tim David has featured in eight tournaments in six different geographical locations as he attempts to make the most of his purple patch. After a stunning season with the Hobart Hurricanes, David developed his reputation of being as a big hitter and offers continued to rain in. The 25-year-old got called up to the Pakistan Super League as a last-minute replacement and then went to the Netherlands to play club cricket.

IPL 2021 – World’s Most Busiest Cricketer: He later got called up by Surrey in England to play two T20 games as an injury replacement and ended up being picked for one-dayers as well. David then got picked at the last minute for The Hundred, where he played in the final and won. He then played in the CPL and now will feature in the upcoming IPL 2021 Phase 2. “A day after the final, I took a plan to play in the CPL,” David said. “The whole of last year I was sitting at home doing nothing. Then, it all snowballed a bit. The Covid this year opened up a lot of opportunities. It’s been a long time on the road, but I am grateful.”
IPL 2021 – World’s Most Busiest Cricketer: David is naturally excited to make his IPL 2021 bow, as he gets to rub his shoulders RCB and international cricket icons Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers.
He said, “AB De Villers and Virat Kohli are two of the best batters in the world and to be able to learn first-hand from them will be awesome. To play in the IPL has been something I have always aspired to. I am really excited to go there for the first time. I am going to keep my ears to the ground and try and soak up as much as I can. If I get a chance to play, I will try to do exactly what I do every time I play.”
