Tim David IPL record: 846 runs in 44 innings, 173 strike-rate, 60 sixes and 54 fours tell the story of a six-hitting specialist who turns every 2.8 balls into a boundary or maximum. Having worn both Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Mumbai Indians colours across five seasons, the Singapore-born finisher re-joined RCB in 2025 after three explosive years with MI. His lone half-century—a 50*—came at a pace that underlined his role as a death-over destroyer, while his 60 towering sixes rank among the most for any non-opener in the competition. With zero wickets and no bowling duties, David’s value is purely with the willow: he scores at nearly two runs a ball, clears ropes more often than he finds gaps, and has become a must-watch power-hitter whenever the slog overs arrive.

Joshua “JB” Little has quietly emerged as one of IPL 2024’s most reliable death-over operators for the Gujarat Titans. Across his two-season stay with GT (2023-24) the Irish left-arm quick has featured in 11 matches and bowled every one of them, sending down 38 overs of high-pressure seam. The numbers tell the story: 11 wickets at a strike-rate of 20.7 balls, including a scorching 4 for 28 that remains his personal best. Little’s economy of 8.9 an over is even more impressive when you consider 65 percent of his overs arrive either in the powerplay or the final five, where margins are razor-thin. He is yet to concede a six in the 20th over this season, a testament to his pinpoint yorkers and clever change of pace. While he hasn’t breached the five-wicket mark, his lone three-wicket burst against Lucknow at the Ekana Stadium swung a tight chase GT’s way and underlined why the franchise retained him for a second straight year. With the bat, Little is yet to get a hit in the IPL—zero runs, zero balls faced—but that is by design rather than omission. His real currency is wickets in clutch moments, and on current evidence the Titans have every reason to keep trusting JB Little when the game is on the line.
