Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Tim David produced one of the standout moments of IPL 2026 when he hit a massive 106-metre six against Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday, April 5.

The brutal blow, which landed on the stadium roof before flying off the field, was a stunning late strike that completely demolished an already strong RCB innings. David made his biggest attack in the 19th over of Jamie Overton, in which he gave away 30 runs.

On the final ball of the over, Overton hit a short one from around the wicket and David turned to pull it to mid-on. A breathtaking late cameo helped RCB reach 250 for three as the ball landed on the roof of the stadium before leaving the ground.

But what happened to the ball after it left the stadium?

The fans standing outside Chinnaswamy saw the ball coming out of the ground. When it finally fell on the road outside the stadium, one of them collected it and carried it away.

Tim David’s attack shook CSK

David remained unbeaten after playing a sensational inning of 70 runs in just 25 balls, in which he hit three fours and eight sixes at a tremendous strike rate of 280. It was an innings that came at just the right time for RCB, who were in a good position but not yet out of sight, before the Australians took complete control in the death overs.

When David came in after Devdutt Padikkal’s half-century, RCB’s score was 151/3 in 14.1 overs. From there he joined captain Rajat Patidar, who remained unbeaten on 48. Both took CSK apart in the final stages. Their unbroken partnership totaled 99 runs off just 35 balls, a partnership that strengthened RCB from strength to strength.

In reply, CSK fought hard but could never recover from the damage suffered in the final overs of RCB’s innings. They were all out for 207 in 19.4 overs, giving RCB a resounding 43-run win. David was named player of the match for an innings that was equal parts devastating and brilliant.

Having won both their matches so far, RCB will look to continue their winning streak against Rajasthan Royals at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Friday, April 10.
