IPL 2026: ‘Exceptional’ Allen One Of The Best In World To Pressure Back On Bowlers, Says Green
Kolkata Knight Riders: Finn Allen blazed an unbeaten 100 off just 47 balls to power Kolkata Knight Riders to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and Australia all-rounder Cameron Green said he was not the least bit surprised by the New Zealand opener's pyrotechnics, adding that he’s one of the best batters in the world at putting pressure back on the bowlers.
Before showcasing his fireworks at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening, Allen had shown his destructive potential earlier by hitting 37 and 28. But three single-figure scores meant he was out of the playing eleven soon. With Tim Seifert not stepping up to KKR’s expectations, Allen was brought back and made 29 in their win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 3.
On Friday, Allen also benefited from a favourable match situation, where the target was a modest 143, and bowlers who weren’t in best of form, thus allowing him to accelerate. Allen scored 20 off his first 17 balls before unleashing an 80-run burst off his next 30 deliveries.
