Actually, this explosive batsman from New Zealand will play for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026. KKR had bought him in the mini auction by bidding Rs 2 crore. Earlier, Finn Allen did not get a chance in the T20 series against India. As soon as he got the chance, he destroyed Indian bowling.

It is a matter of double happiness for KKR that Finn Allen has been batting stormily in the Big Bash League before this. Finn Allen was the highest run-scorer in BBL 2025-26. He had scored 466 runs in 11 matches in the entire season, which included one century and 2 half-centuries. In the Big Bash League season, he batted at a strike rate of 184.

Watch: ‘Enough is enough, now Yuvi is on leave…’, Yuvraj Singh’s wife’s statement created an uproar; The video will disturb you!

If no extra runs are scored, a batting team can score a maximum of 72 runs in two overs. This seems like an almost impossible task to do. T20 is the most unpredictable format of cricket, New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi has become its victim. Sodhi gave away 58 runs in 2 overs and also hit a lot of fours and sixes.

A strange coincidence happened with Ish Sodhi in the T20 series against India. Indian batsmen scored 58 runs in their 2 overs. In fact, in the fourth T20 match, Shivam Dubey had scored 29 runs in his over, while in the fifth T20 match, Ishan Kishan did the same feat.

58 runs in 12 balls

The fourth T20 match vs India was played in Visakhapatnam. Team India was in a struggling situation, then Ish Sodhi was seen flying in the storm named Shivam Dubey. Till the 11th over of the innings, Shivam Dubey was playing after scoring 12 runs in 6 balls. He hit 3 sixes and 2 fours in Ish Sodhi’s over. A total of 29 runs were scored in this over. Dubey completed his fifty in 15 balls, which was the third fastest fifty for India in the history of international T20 cricket.

Ishan Kishan did the same thing against Ish Sodhi in Thiruvananthapuram. This time too Sodhi came to bowl the 12th over of the innings, in which Ishan Kishan hit 4 fours and 2 sixes. 29 runs came in this over also. In this way Ish Soshi gave away 58 runs in 12 balls of 2 matches.

Ishan Kishan’s first century

Ishan Kishan played an explosive inning of 103 runs in 43 balls in this match. This is his first century in T20 career. In fact, his century was completed in just 42 balls, making him the fifth fastest century for India in T20 International cricket.

India has Abhishek Sharma, while New Zealand has Tim Seifert. The only difference between the two is that Abhishek’s form is very strong, but Seifert failed to play a big innings, but in the fourth T20 match against India, he scored a half-century in just 25 balls. His and Abhishek’s style of playing and beating the bowlers seems to be similar.

Tim Seifert is also able to hit sixes to Jasprit Bumrah easily. After all, who is Tim Seifert, who has created fear among other teams before the T20 World Cup 2026? Has this dreaded New Zealand batsman also played in the Indian Premier League? If yes, then which team will they play in IPL 2026 and how many crores were bid for them in the auction.

Tim Seifert’s team in IPL 2026

Tim Seifert made his IPL debut in 2021. He has been able to play only 3 matches in his IPL career so far. Seifert has been a part of the squads of Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, but due to lack of opportunities, he has not been able to leave an impression on the hearts of Indian fans. He will be seen playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026. KKR had bid Rs 1.50 crore on him in the IPL 2026 auction.

Harshit hits a six of 89 meters

In the fourth T20 match, Tim Seifert first hit an 89 meter long six to Harshit Rana. The fifth over of the innings was bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, on whose third ball Seifert hit a six right in front. He swung the bat very easily and took the ball across the boundary. Tim Seifert has been scoring runs with a stormy strike of more than 142 in international T20 cricket.

During this time, he also scored the second fastest fifty for India in the history of international T20 cricket.

India won the match by 8 wickets, after which an action of New Zealand players has come into discussion. Such pictures are going viral on social media, in which Abhishek was seen testing his bat against New Zealand. As if Abhishek’s bat has a spring.

Discussions about spring bats started during the 2003 ODI World Cup, when Ricky Ponting played an inning of 140 runs against India in the final. After the end of the third T20 match, Mitchell Santner, Jacob Duffy and Devon Conway were seen examining Abhishek Sharma’s bat with a smile.

Yesterday, New Zealand players were checking Abhishek Sharma’s bat after the match.

This match will start at 7 pm Indian time. The Indian team is leading 2-0 in the five-match series and by winning today’s match, Team India can take an unassailable lead of 3-0. New Zealand would like to register a win and remain in the race to win the series.

In the third T20 match, special attention will be kept on Sanju Samson, who has failed in the last two matches. After Shubman Gill’s exit from the T20 team, Samson has been opening the opening along with Abhishek Sharma. But in the 2 matches of the current series, he has been able to score only 16 runs. Abhishek Sharma will be expected to perform well in Nagpur, where he scored 84 runs in 35 balls.

Just before the T20 World Cup 2026, captain Suryakumar Yadav’s form seems to be coming back. He played an unbeaten inning of 82 runs in Raipur. Ishan Kishan and all-rounder Shivam Dubey have also shown signs of being in good touch.

Team India’s record in Guwahati

The T20 record of the Indian team at Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati has not been good. Here the Indian team has played 4 T20 matches, in which it has won only one. This will be the first time that a T20 match will be played between India and New Zealand on this ground.

India vs New Zealand: Head to Head

27 matches have been played between India and New Zealand in international T20 cricket. Of these, the Indian team has been victorious 16 times, while New Zealand has won 10 times. One of their matches was tied there. In the last 16 T20 matches, New Zealand has been able to defeat India only twice. Paper records seem to be in favor of Team India, but both the teams will be playing a T20 match on this ground for the first time.

India’s squad: Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Ravi Bishnoi, Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel.

New Zealand squad: Devon Conway, Tim Seifert (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner (c), Zachary Foulkes, Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, James Neesham, Kyle Jamieson, Michael Bracewell, Christian Clarke, Tim Robinson, Bevan Jacobs.

In the second T20 played in Raipur, New Zealand, batting first, made a huge score of 208 runs. The Kiwi team had a great start in bowling also. Matt Henry had dismissed Sanju Samson in the very first over. Abhishek Sharma got a ‘golden duck’ on the first ball of the second over. India was under pressure with 2 wickets falling at the score of 6, but then Mitchell Santner made a big mistake. This can also be called imprudence, which made New Zealand lose the match.

In the second T20 played on Friday, New Zealand had set a target of 209 runs for India. Captain Mitchell Santner played a brilliant inning of 47 runs in the end. In this innings played in 27 balls, he hit 1 six and 6 fours.

What mistake did Mitchell Santner make?

The target was not small, but India’s poor start made the match for New Zealand. Sanju Samson was out after hitting a six in the first over. The second over was bowled by Jacob Duffy, on whose very first ball he dismissed dangerous batsman Abhishek Sharma for a ‘golden duck’. It seemed that New Zealand would continue to dominate from here, but one mistake by Mitchell Santner changed the entire game.

Everyone was surprised when Jack Foulkes came to bowl the third over, because in the first over Matt Henry had taken 1 wicket for just 6 runs. Call Santner a mistake or stupidity here, because after a good over he removed Henry from the bowling. He also had to suffer the consequences of this. In the third over bowled by Foulkes, he hit 3 fours and 1 six. The bowler had bowled 1 no ball and 3 wide balls in this over. A total of 24 runs were scored in this over, which changed the entire game.

Mitchell Santner gave the fourth over to Jacob Duffy but did not bring Matt Henry even in the fifth over. This over was bowled by the captain himself, on whose last 3 balls Ishan Kishan hit 3 consecutive fours. Satner handed the last over of the powerplay to Matt Henry, but by then it was too late. The ball started looking like a football to Ishaan. After the match, Ishaan also said that he was able to play a big innings because he was seeing the ball very well.

Shameful record registered in the name of Jack Foulkes

Mitchell Santner replaced Matt Henry and gave bowling to Jack Foulkes, Indian batsmen scored a lot of runs on his balls. Foulkes, who gave 24 runs in his first over, gave away 67 runs in 3 overs at an economy of 22.33. He has become the first New Zealand bowler to concede the most runs in a T20 match.

In the second T20, Ishan Kishan scored 76 runs in 32 balls with the help of 4 sixes and 11 fours. Ishaan, who played at a strike rate of 237.50, scored 68 runs only from boundaries. Suryakumar Yadav played a brilliant inning of 84 runs in 37 balls, in which he hit 4 sixes and 9 fours. India created history by achieving the target of 209 in 15.2 overs. This is the fastest successful run chase of more than 200 in T20 International.

The Indian cricket team has taken a 2-0 lead in the 5-match T20 series by defeating New Zealand in Raipur. In the second match, India had a target of 209 runs to win, chasing which India lost 2 wickets for 6 runs. After Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma flopped, but then Ishan Kishan (76) and Suryakumar Yadav (82) made this big target look trivial by playing stormy innings.

In the video shared by BCCI, Suryakumar Yadav praised Ishan Kishan and asked him, “The target is 209 runs, 2 wickets have fallen for 6 runs. I have never seen anyone bat like this in my life. What happened today?” To this Ishan Kishan replied, “The ball was looking very good to me, I did not even feel that they (New Zealand bowlers) would get me out on a good ball. Even on a good ball, I felt that I would play it comfortably.”

kept distance from social media

Ishaan Kishan asked Surya what was in your mind? On this, Surya said, “Whenever we go home, it comes to our mind that there is a coach sitting there too, with whom we are married. She also keeps telling me that you should take some time. She knows me very well, so I thought let’s take some time. I took it in the last match, took it today too. I was playing well in the nets, but was not able to score in the match. Then I got a little break, went home, stayed away from social media completely. 3 weeks I practiced well and the most important thing is to be happy.”

What did Suryakumar Yadav say for Abhishek Sharma?

Suryakumar Yadav said, “And this was to stop the talk in front of the world that India will win only if Abhishek Sharma scores runs. India will win only if Ishan scores runs. However, Abhishek Sharma is also my favorite batsman and I want him to score runs in every match. This is a team game, the team wins only because of the entire 11 players.”
