What happened to Finn Allen?

Prince Yadav was bowling for Lucknow Supergiants, while opener Finn Allen was batting for KKR. Finn Allen swung the bat hard and the ball went in the air and Digvesh Rathi caught the ball brilliantly near the boundary line. His foot was very close to the boundary line but even after this, review was not taken by the field umpire and Allen was declared out. In this, a mistake has also been made by KKR. The team had the option of taking a review to challenge the umpire’s decision but this was not done from their side. In such a situation, now its video is going viral on social media and people are raising questions on bad umpiring.

Finn Allen’s flop show continues

Kolkata team had included Finn Allen in the team for a prize of Rs 2 crore. Allen batted brilliantly for New Zealand in the T20 World Cup, but for KKR he has looked like a flop so far. He has scored only 80 runs in the 4 matches played so far. The team also has Tim Seifert on the bench. In such a situation, if the management can think of changes in batting. Seifert is also known for batting in a stormy style. At present, KKR team is searching for its first win.
