KKR got the match winner for two crores, led the team to victory with a stormy century in Australia

When Kolkata Knight Riders bought New Zealand’s aggressive batsman Finn Allen for just Rs 2 crore in the IPL 2026 auction, it was considered a normal deal. But the way Finn Allen played the bat on Australian soil turned this deal into a straight jackpot.

His stormy innings played in the Big Bash League not only changed the course of the match, but also showed that KKR has bet on a big match winner of the future. This century in Australia has come as a big good news for KKR fans before the IPL.

Fin Allen’s bat thundered in Australia

New Zealand’s explosive opener Finn Allen, playing for Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League, scored a stormy century against Melbourne Renegades. Allen played a explosive inning of 101 runs in just 53 balls and put his team in a strong position. Thanks to his innings, Perth Scorchers batted first and scored a big score, due to which the Melbourne team could never make a comeback in the match.

Sixes and fours rained in the century

Finn Allen started Perth Scorchers in an aggressive manner on the Melbourne ground. He hit five fours and eight long sixes in his 101-run innings. Apart from him, Aaron Hardy also scored runs rapidly and scored 22 runs.

Fin Allen’s record in T20

Finn Allen now seems to be emerging as a big match winner for KKR for Rs 2 crore. This aggressive opener has so far scored 4,626 runs in 168 T20 matches at an average of 28.91, which includes four centuries. After a brilliant performance in the Big Bash League, now all eyes are on IPL 2026, where Finn Allen will try to repeat the same aggressive style for KKR.
