Tim David can be out
In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Tim David had gone out of the field due to a stretch in Hamstring, he came to bat but did not seem to be right at all. His leg was not able to move too much, in such a situation it seems difficult that he can play the match ahead now. It had increased the tension in RCB camp, but now this tension must have reduced a bit due to the arrival of Hazelwood.
