Tim David got injured while fielding
During the last over of the first innings of the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Tim David was fielding in the deep when he strained his hamstring while trying to stop a boundary. He limped to the RCB dug-out and did not field for the rest of the five balls left in the over. However, he came out to bat but could score just one run off five balls.
