IPL 2025 resumes on May 17 with a crucial clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. During a rain interruption at practice, RCB’s Aussie star Tim David stole the show by stripping down to shorts and playfully bathing on the waterlogged ground cover — turning the stadium into his personal swimming pool!

RCB shared the hilarious video on social media, dubbing him ‘Swim David’, which quickly went viral. Fellow teammates cheered as Tim enjoyed the rain-soaked fun, much to fans' delight.

Tim David’s Impact and Match Preview

RCB invested ₹3 crore in Tim David this season, using him as a finisher. He’s been brilliant with 186 runs in 11 matches, boasting an extraordinary strike rate of 193.75.

However, the upcoming RCB vs KKR game is threatened by rain, with a 65% chance of showers. A rain-curtailed or cancelled match could jeopardize Bangalore’s playoff hopes and potentially end Kolkata’s campaign.
