New Delhi .On Saturday night in the IPL (Indian Premier League), Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Finn Allen thrilled the cricket fans with his stormy performance. In the match played against Gujarat Titans, Allen performed such explosive batting, which completely changed the course of the match and gave a lot of entertainment to the audience.

Finn Allen played a brilliant inning of 93 runs in just 35 balls, which included 4 fours and 10 skyscraper sixes. His strike rate was above 265, which clearly shows the aggressiveness of T20 cricket. Although he remained just 7 runs away from his century, by then he had overwhelmed the opposition bowlers.

The biggest feature of this innings was his rain of sixes. By hitting 10 sixes, he equaled a special record of IPL, where his name was included among the select batsmen who hit 10 or more sixes in an innings. With this achievement, he has equaled players like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Abhishek Sharma, who have also achieved this feat twice each.

However, West Indies legend Chris Gayle still tops this list. Gayle, popularly known as ‘Universe Boss’, has made the record of hitting 10 or more sixes in an innings four times in IPL history, which no batsman has been able to break till now. This performance by Finn Allen firmly establishes him in this elite club.

Talking about the match, KKR performed brilliantly while batting first and scored a huge score of 247 runs. Finn Allen may have had a lucky start, but he took full advantage of the opportunities he got and maintained constant pressure on the bowlers. After them, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Cameron Green also scored unbeaten half-centuries to put the team in a strong position.

Gujarat Titans team also showed struggle while chasing the target. Captain Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler played brilliant innings, but their efforts proved insufficient to lead the team to victory. In the end, Gujarat team fell behind the set target and KKR won the match by 29 runs.

With this win, KKR kept their playoff hopes alive, while Gujarat Titans’ winning streak was broken. This innings of Finn Allen is considered to be one of the most memorable performances of IPL 2026, which once again proved that in T20 cricket, a batsman can single-handedly change the course of the match.
