Why is Tim David not playing vs Punjab Kings in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2025?

Punjab Kings will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Qualifier 1 of the ongoing IPL 2025. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and elected to bowl first in the high-voltage clash. After the toss, Patidar noted that Australia quick Josh Hazlewood made his return to the playing XI but didn’t mention anything about Tim David. The flamboyant Australia batter suffered a hamstring injury during the ongoing season and it arguably ruled him out of Qualifier 1.
