Australian power-hitter Tim David made headlines with an outstanding innings that came remarkably close to setting a new T20I record. Playing with his usual aggressive style, David scored one of the fastest fifties in Australia’s T20 history, just missing Rohit Sharma’s record for the quickest T20I half-century by a mere three balls.

The match saw David walk in during a tricky phase, but he quickly changed the momentum with his fearless hitting. He smashed bowlers to all parts of the ground, reaching his fifty in just 19 balls—Rohit Sharma’s record stands at 16. While David didn’t overtake the record, his performance left fans excited and the opposition stunned.

Cricket fans have long associated David with his big-hitting abilities in franchise cricket, but this innings showed he’s just as impactful in national colours. His timing, footwork, and composure made the knock special—not just for the scoreboard, but also for how it lifted his team’s morale.

After the game, David remained humble, saying, “It’s always about putting the team in a strong position. Records are good, but wins matter more.” His innings was a perfect example of modern T20 batting—powerful, calculated, and quick.

Australia went on to win the match, and David’s innings was clearly a turning point. Though he may have missed the record, his name now joins the list of fastest scorers in T20 cricket.
