The Kolkata Knight Riders opener Finn Allen has finally found his best form in the IPL as he smashes a magnificent century off just 47 balls. There was absolute carnage from the Kiwi batter in the last couple of overs and he gave the Capitals no chance to come back into the game. He started off in a slow manner as the total wasn’t all that big and then he shifted gears with his phenomenal power. Finn Allen was just 18 runs off 20 balls and then he unleashed his might on the Capitals by scoring 82 runs off the next 27 balls.

From the kind of start the Kolkata Knight Riders had in the season, they have made a tremendous comeback into the season as they are back in contention for the playoffs. They won the game by 8 wickets in hand and they have 8 points in hand, with 3 games remaining. Plenty of positives to take away from the game for KKR as their thumping victory could give them a massive leap in terms of the Net Run rate as well.

The viewers on X are relieved that they finally got to see the full potential of Finn Allen in the season as he did have some promising starts but nothing would feel as good as this one. Cameron Green took probably the most important single of his life as he gave the strike to Finn Allen to complete his century. Here are some of the reactions on X:

The Kolkata Knight Riders will have to win by huge margins in the coming games and they will have to repeat such performances and hope for the best, if they have to qualify for the playoffs. The Delhi Capitals are getting further ahead of an early exit in the playoff race as their form is dipping with every game.
