Fastest IPL Centuries: On May 8, 2026, at the IPL 2026, Finn Allen scored one of IPL 2026‘s most incredible innings and struck his first KKR century against the Delhi Capitals, making 100 runs off 47 balls, using five boundaries and 10 sixes for a phenomenal strike rate of 212.77.
With this innings, Allen became only the fourth KKR batsman to achieve an IPL 100 and also becomes part of a very small group who have recorded an IPL 100 for KKR after Brendon McCullum, Venkatesh Iyer and Sunil Narine.
Finn Allen has become only the second New Zealand cricketer to score a hundred at KKR in the IPL, after Brendon McCullum.
His confident start was demonstrated by how easily he handled the Delhi bowler’s attacks, and he helped KKR beat Delhi with 34 balls left, needing only to get to 143.
This was KKR’s fourth consecutive victory of the season, and they now have a great chance of qualifying for the playoffs.
Allen’s innings prove that having an aggressive intent, confidence under pressure, good timing, and the ability to be quick on your feet are all critical to success in T20.
