After his remarkable IPL 2026 campaign against Delhi Capitals, Finn Allen replicated his incredible form once again for Kolkata Knight Riders in a high-octane clash against Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens on Thursday.

The hard-hitting opener continued his assault on the opposition by notching up another blistering knock of 10 sixes, thereby joining a rare club in IPL history as he became the fourth player to register multiple 10+ sixes in an innings in the IPL.

The list of players with 10 or more sixes in IPL games reads:

• 4 - Chris Gayle
• 2 - Abhishek Sharma
• 2 - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
• 2 - Finn Allen

The same explosive display was witnessed when Allen registered his century against the Delhi Capitals at Delhi; he maintained the attacking intent while chasing down 143 against the Axar Patel-led side, regularly finding the boundary.

Right from the word go against the Gujarat Titans, Finn Allen seemed dangerous as he attacked both pace and spin. He didn't care which bowler came at him as he made an attempt to dominate the entire bowling attack.

Allen completed his half-century in just 21 deliveries and didn't cease to hit boundaries regularly, smashing many of his 10 sixes into the stands against the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, Jason Holder, and Arshad Khan.

Some of the massive shots were hit for well over 90 meters as the Eden Gardens crowd witnessed one of the cleaner displays of striking throughout the season. His 10 sixes also brought him level on third place for the most sixes in an IPL innings for KKR.

Most sixes in an IPL innings for KKR:

• 13 - Brendon McCullum vs RCB, 2008
• 11 - Andre Russell vs CSK, 2018
• 10 - Finn Allen vs DC, 2026
• 10 - Finn Allen vs GT, 2026

Finn Allen's courageous batting has given Kolkata Knight Riders good starts in the last few games. His aggressive approach also tends to change the course of a game in very little time.

In his innings against Gujarat Titans, he blended power with placement and was on attacking mode from the start and attacked all most all the bowlers he faced. The most experienced bowlers did not have answer against Finn once he got into the groove.

His recent form might prove to be one of the biggest advantages to Kolkata Knight Riders going ahead in the latter part of IPL 2026 as they approach towards the playoffs. Finn Allen is one of the most lethal batters in this year's IPL already.
