IPL 2026: KKR is going to create a new story, if these two fail then there will be a tsunami in Eden Gardens.

News India Live, Digital Desk: The addiction of cricket never subsides. Now the year 2025 is bidding farewell (December 2025) and the discussion about next year i.e. IPL 2026 has started on everyone’s lips. Especially the fans of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who are always known for doing something ‘out of the box’. Remember how he surprised the whole world by making Sunil Narine an opener? The news is coming that KKR is once again planning to do such an explosive experiment with its opening pair. This time, the names in discussion are enough to give sleep to any bowling attack – Finn Allen and Cameron Green. Preparation to take real ‘advantage’ of power play. If you follow T-20 cricket closely, then you would know that the first 6 overs (power play) of the match. Let’s decide the direction. KKR has a history of ‘fighting’ cricket. Reports and cricket pundits believe that in IPL 2026, the team management can send the pair of Finn Allen and Cameron Green to open the innings. Just imagine… On one hand, Finn Allen, who is famous for hitting sixes from the first ball for New Zealand. He doesn’t waste time in setting up on the pitch, just comes and pounces on the bowlers. And on the other hand, Australia’s ‘Hulk’ i.e. Cameron Green, whose height and power is no less than a nightmare for the small boundaries of Eden Gardens. Why is this pair ‘deadly’? No hassle of left-right, just ‘beating’: Although both of them are right-handed batsmen, but their playing style is completely different. While Finn Allen fires aerially, Green is known for long straight drives and pull shots. Eden Gardens factor: Kolkata’s home ground is considered a batting paradise. There the ball hits the bat well. In such a situation, if these two last 6 overs, then 70-80 runs can easily be put on the board. Future planning: Sunil Narine and Andre Russell have been caged. KKR is now looking to create a young blood duo that can carry the burden of the franchise for the next 5-7 years. What do experts say? Although the move has not been officially confirmed yet, the way the talks about auction strategy and retention are going on, this move seems to be the most logical. If this experiment is successful, it will be impossible for the opposing teams to stop KKR. Along with opening, Green also bowls fast, which further strengthens the balance of the team. So friends, get ready. The 2026 IPL is going to witness not just cricket but ‘fireworks’. What do you think, will the duo of Finn Allen and Green be able to carry forward the legacy of Narine-Salt or Gambhir-Uthappa?
