DC vs KKR – Player of the Match
Finn Allen finally got the innings KKR had been waiting for, turning a small chase into a brutal reminder of his power. After a slow start and the pressure of being dropped earlier in the season, he stayed patient, gave himself time, then exploded with a stunning hundred.
Once he crossed 20 balls, DC had no answer as Allen turned the match into his own hitting show.
An innings that went into the 5th gear in a flash 🏎️
Finn Allen is the Player of the Match for his finn-tastic 100* (47) 🏅

KKR’s spinners set up the win by keeping DC down to just 143, giving their batting line-up a rare chance to chase without panic. That control allowed Finn Allen to settle in instead of swinging from ball one, and once he found rhythm, the game disappeared quickly.
His explosive return gave KKR both the win and fresh energy in their playoff push.
A 𝙆night of sheer dominance 🔥@KKRiders chase down the 🎯 with 34 deliveries to spare and make it 4⃣ wins on the trot 👊💜
