Tim David’s amazing form in 2025

With an impressive strike rate and ability to clear boundaries, David has become an important player for Australia’s T20 side. His mastery of timing and power makes him a dangerous feature against the likes of Axar Patel, who is often dropped after powerplay overs.
David scored an impressive 363 runs in 703 T20 internationals in 2025, racking up an outstanding strike rate of 60.50, 60.50 and 201.66. The Australian power-hitter’s remarkable feat includes his maiden T20I century – a blistering 102 off just 37 deliveries against West Indies, which ranks as the joint third-fastest T20I century in matches between two full ICC members. His knocks of 11 towering sixes and 6 fours highlighted his explosive batting prowess.
