Finn Allen, IPL 2026 KKR vs GT: Finn Allen of Kolkata Knight Riders batted brilliantly against Gujarat Titans in the 60th match of IPL 2026, scoring 93 runs in 35 balls with 4 fours and 10 sixes. Allen missed the century. With this, he fell short of breaking Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s record of scoring the fastest century.
Let us tell you that Vaibhav has a record in his name for scoring a century in 35 balls in IPL, which he scored against Gujarat Titans last season. If Finn Allen had completed his century in 34 balls today, he would have become the fastest batsman to score a century in the last 13 years of IPL. In this way Allen missed out on becoming the batsman to score the fastest century.
Gujarat won the toss and chose bowling
In the match being played at Eden Gardens, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bowl. This decision was taken keeping in mind the condition. It was believed that fast bowlers would get help in overcast conditions, but as per Kolkata’s batting, no special help was seen.
KKR had put 100 runs on the board in 8.6 overs. After this the team reached the score of 150 in 12.4 overs. Then the team put 200 runs on the board in 16.6 overs.
‘Do or die match’ for Kolkata
This is a ‘do or die’ match for the Kolkata Knight Riders captained by Ajinkya Rahane in terms of playoffs. The team is present at 8th position in the points table. The team has played 11 matches, winning 4 and losing 6. The remaining one match remained inconclusive due to rain. With this performance KKR has 9 points.
If KKR loses against Gujarat today, the team will have 9 points from 12 matches. After this, the team will be able to reach only 13 points even by winning the remaining two matches. With so many points it will be almost impossible for any team to qualify.
