  "textContent": "NEW DELHI: Tim David delivered a stunning power-hitting performance to guide Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a commanding 43-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.\n\nThe 30-year-old Australian remained unbeaten on 70 off just 25 balls, smashing eight sixes as Bengaluru posted a massive total and secured their second consecutive win of the season.\n\nDuring his innings, David produced a remarkable 106-metre six that landed on the roof of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, leaving spectators in awe.\n\nSpeaking after the match, David said the shot was something he had practiced during training sessions.\n\n“We have competitions during practice to try and hit the roof from the side pitches. To manage that in a match was good fun,” he said.\n\nBengaluru captain Rajat Patidar also played a key role, scoring an unbeaten 48 off 19 balls and setting the stage for a strong finish.\n\nDavid accelerated the innings further, including a 30-run over against Jamie Overton, which featured four sixes.\n\nChasing a daunting target of 251, Chennai Super Kings managed 207 before being bowled out with two balls remaining.\n\nChennai head coach Stephen Fleming said his side was in contention until the final overs.\n\n“We were ahead until about five overs to go, but then they accelerated rapidly. That is where the game slipped away,” he said.\n\nWith this victory, Bengaluru moved to the top of the points table with a superior net run rate, ahead of Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.\n\nChennai, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive defeat and dropped to the bottom of the standings.\n\nThe post Tim David’s explosive knock powers Bengaluru to big win over Chennai appeared first on HUM News English.",
