IPL 2025: Tim David, Romario Shepherd Join RCB Squad In Bengaluru
As Royal Challengers Bengaluru: As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) eye a direct route to the playoffs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, reinforcements have arrived at just the right time. In a massive boost to their already thriving campaign, key overseas finishers Tim David and Romario Shepherd have rejoined the squad in Bengaluru ahead of their marquee home clash against defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) this Saturday.
David, who has been central to RCB’s late-order fireworks this season, returns to bolster a middle-order that has shown consistent promise. His presence deepens the batting. Alongside him, the return of West Indies allrounder Romario Shepherd adds not just muscle with the bat, but also crucial overs with the ball, though questions linger over his availability for the entire stretch.
Shepherd’s situation is delicate. Having produced one of the fastest fifties in IPL history — a 14-ball 53* against Chennai Super Kings earlier in the tournament — the 30-year-old has now been called up for West Indies’ ODI squads against both Ireland (May 21–25) and England (from May 29), which overlaps with the IPL playoffs.
