'Wanted To Keep My Intent Throughout The Innings': Allen After Maiden IPL Ton
Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Finn Allen said maintaining positive intent while also taking greater responsibility after early wickets was the key behind his blistering unbeaten century against Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026. Allen smashed his maiden IPL hundred, remaining unbeaten on 100 off just 47 deliveries, as KKR chased down 143 in only 14.2 overs to secure a commanding eight-wicket win at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. His innings, studded with five fours and ten sixes, helped KKR register their fourth consecutive victory of the season. For me, it was just I wanted to keep my intent. Obviously we lost a couple fortunate ones early. So I knew that I had to take a bit of responsibility and bat a bit deeper, So I think, yeah, it helped me get into better positions. And then I just wanted to keep my intent throughout the innings, He said in a video released by IPL on X. The New Zealand batter also shared an unbroken 116-run stand with Cameron Green, who remained unbeaten on 33 off 27 balls. Reflecting on the partnership, Allen said he initially focused on allowing Green to settle before expanding his own strokeplay. Oh, I just tried to get first time batting with Greeny. So, you know, I just tried to play good cricket shots, let him get set. And then we sort of said we'd push a bit more with our intent, and then I just sort of, I guess, started to look to put the bad ball away a bit more, he said. KKR were briefly jolted early in the chase after losing Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi, but Allen ensured there was no further damage by counterattacking aggressively against both pace and spin. Allen particularly targeted Delhis spinners in the middle overs, smashing Vipraj Nigam for three consecutive sixes and also taking on Kuldeep Yadav with fearless strokeplay. The new spin was going to be a bit challenging. They got really quality spinners. So I felt like if I had good intent to them, that it would get me in better positions to play the ball, he explained. And then, yeah, I just wanted to take it deep and put away the bad ball once Greeny got set. Allen also credited KKRs support staff and captain Ajinkya Rahane for remaining calm despite the team enduring a poor start to the season with six consecutive defeats. I think credit goes to our support staff and Jinx. You know, they're really calm and composed. We obviously didn't get a win for our first six games. And it would be easy for everything to start going crazy, he said. But they stayed really calm and composed, which I think is a really good trait to have, especially as a support staff. So I think that really helped us. And it was infectious throughout the group, he added. The opener also said that the squad always believed momentum would shift once they secured their first victory. We always backed ourselves. We knew we'd take one win and we'd get some momentum. And that's exactly what's happened. We're taking it one game at a time, which is great, Allen said. The opener also said that the squad always believed momentum would shift once they secured their first victory.

Allen's Range And Cleanliness Of His Hitting Make Him Special: Boucher
Former South African: Former South African cricketer and coach Mark Boucher has lauded Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) opener Finn Allens extraordinary century against Delhi Capitals and said it's not just the 27-year-old batter's strength but also his range and cleanliness in hitting a shot that make him special. Allen showcased his fireworks at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, scored 20 off his first 17 balls before unleashing an 80-run burst off his next 30 deliveries to complete his maiden IPL century in 47 balls, stitching an unbeaten 116-run partnership off just 64 deliveries with Camwron Green as KKR jumped to the seventh spot on the points table to keep their qualification hopes alive with a dominant eight-wicket win. Once Finn Allen gets past 20 or 30, there are very few players in world cricket who strike the ball with the kind of power he does. What makes him special is not just the strength, but the range and cleanliness of his hitting. Whether it was the pick-up shot over fine leg against Mitchell Starc or the straight hits back over the bowlers head, everything looked effortless. Anything in his arc or under his eyeline, he was striking beautifully. At one stage, it almost looked like he was batting against a bowling machine. It was an incredible innings to watch, Boucher said on JioStar. Allen was particularly lethal against spin, posting a strike rate of 235 via scoring 73 off 31 balls as KKR got their fourth straight win of IPL 2026. Former India spinner Piyush Chawla reflected on his approach against spin, saying once a player of Allen's quality gets into rhythm, it becomes extremely difficult to contain him. This was probably the toughest surface Finn Allen has batted on in the tournament, but what stood out was how well he used the crease. Against anything short, he went deep in the crease, and whenever the ball was in his zone, he capitalised immediately. His reach also allows him to access different areas of the ground comfortably. Allen was particularly lethal against spin, posting a strike rate of 235 via scoring 73 off 31 balls as KKR got their fourth straight win of IPL 2026.

IPL 2026 Playoffs Scenario: How KKR Turned The Tables With 4 Consecutive Wins
IPL 2026 Playoffs Scenario: The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have given their top 4 qualification hopes a big boost with a monumental win over the Delhi Capitals.
IPL 2026: Exceptional Allen One Of The Best In World To Pressure Back On Bowlers, Says Green
Kolkata Knight Riders: Finn Allen blazed an unbeaten 100 off just 47 balls to power Kolkata Knight Riders to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, and Australia all-rounder Cameron Green said he was not the least bit surprised by the New Zealand opener's pyrotechnics, adding that hes one of the best batters in the world at putting pressure back on the bowlers. Before showcasing his fireworks at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday evening, Allen had shown his destructive potential earlier by hitting 37 and 28. But three single-figure scores meant he was out of the playing eleven soon. With Tim Seifert not stepping up to KKRs expectations, Allen was brought back and made 29 in their win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 3. On Friday, Allen also benefited from a favourable match situation, where the target was a modest 143, and bowlers who werent in best of form, thus allowing him to accelerate. Allen scored 20 off his first 17 balls before unleashing an 80-run burst off his next 30 deliveries. For the first time in his IPL career, Allen passed through the powerplay period and eventually struck ten sixes, the final one arriving when KKR required two runs to win and he needed six for his maiden century in the competition. He was particularly lethal against spin, posting a strike rate of 235 via scoring 73 off 31 balls, as KKR got their fourth straight win of IPL 2026. Finn was exceptional. He's been really good for us. Just he's got off to amazing starts every time he's been out there. So that's exactly what we have got him in the team for. I think he's one of the best in the world at doing that and putting pressure back on. When he gets to 30 or 40 then he's very hard to get out because he just keeps going. He never really tries to rein it back in. So, I wasn't surprised by what he did. I think he's been training really hard and I think he's worked out a really good way to go about it. So, no, so happy for him and it was so good to watch out down the other end, Green said in the post-match press conference. With DC bowling persistent short lengths and poor lines, Allen was quick to pounce onto them and send the balls over the boundary ropes. The adjustment of unleashing in the middle overs paid immediate dividends for Allen in a one-sided finish going in KKRs favour. Green, who contributed an unbeaten 33 off 27 balls in a match-clinching unbroken third-wicket stand of 116 with Allen, was effusive in his praise of the opener who struck 5 fours and 10 sixes at a blistering strike rate of 212.77 as KKR chased down 143 in just 14.2 overs to register their fourth successive win of IPL 2026. Before Allen's assault dismantled DCs attack, KKRs spinners applied the choke on the batters, with Anukul Roy (2-31) and Kartik Tyagi (2-25) being the pick of the bowlers. Green, who himself picked 1012, credited the team's dressing room spirit as the bedrock of their revival after a difficult start to the competition saw them be winless in the first six games. I didn't think the belief was ever gone. I think we've had a really good culture this whole tournament even before we won a game. A few guys mentioned that I think it hasn't felt like we've lost every game by how upbeat everyone's been. So I think that's just a credit to the players and the support staff for keeping the vibes high because obviously it's a really big comp and it means a lot to us. To lose those games meant a lot. We've fought really hard to get back into it and I think our bowling has obviously been awesome all comp. So, they were exceptional again, he said. Green further admitted KKR had also needed time to settle on their best batting combination and where each player fitted most effectively in the order. I think our team was probably just finding the right combination and where guys should bat to best suit the team. So I think we obviously took a few games to work that out - where was best for me, where was best for the other guys on the team. So I think we've got to a really good place now. For sure. I think we've got a pretty good combination of that in our team. Obviously, Ajinkya Rahane is an exceptional timer of the ball. Then Rovman Powell talked about the rest of us as slappers. So, no, it's good to have guys who can do both in your team. When you get to a situation like this, when you're chasing a lower total, those guys are really, really important for us. I think I like to think I can do both. But probably a bit more of a slapper than guys like Ajinkya, he elaborated. On his bowling workload, Green was keen to dispel any notion that his overs were being rationed due to fitness concerns. No, I'm 100 percent ready to bowl four overs. I think just the makeup of our team - we got Anu, who has been exceptional for us, bowling one or two overs. So that means I can only bowl two or three overs, which has been a really big help, I think, having a left arm spin bowling all-rounder to potentially bowl through the middle. I can bowl in the power play and potentially the death or through the middle as well. I think it's just the makeup of our team that we've got six guys that we can go to. Obviously, myself and Anu are the all-rounders there. So we just help each other out and bowl our four overs, he stated. Green, the most expensive overseas buy in an IPL auction at Rs 25.2 crore, was equally warm when asked about the backing from KKR support staff, saying they never placed any extra pressure on his shoulders despite the scrutiny that comes with being one of only four overseas players in the playing eleven. The support staff never put any pressure on me. I think they've been awesome to me since day one. Never made it feel like there's any extra pressure compared to anyone else on the team. I think there's always pressure on guys who are internationals and obviously there's only four of us in a team. Green, the most expensive overseas buy in an IPL auction at Rs 25.2 crore, was equally warm when asked about the backing from KKR support staff, saying they never placed any extra pressure on his shoulders despite the scrutiny that comes with being one of only four overseas players in the playing eleven. Also Read: Live Cricket Score I think I play a lot of cricket, so I think I get pretty used to working out my workload and how I can best go throughout the comp so I can keep energy for the back end. I think that's really important that when you are training, you're not trying to over-train because you can get to the back of the comp and you get quite tired. So, trying to keep myself as fresh as possible to be playing good cricket by the back end of the comp, he signed off. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: '18 Years And It Hurts; All Three Departments Failed,' Admits DC's DoC Venugopal Rao
DoC Venugopal Rao: For Venugopal Rao, the sense of deja vu must be as stifling as the scorching heat in the national capital. Rao, currently the director of cricket at Delhi Capitals, endured two wooden spoon finishes during his time as a player with the franchise from 2011-13, when it used to be called Delhi Daredevils. The script feels eerily familiar, with Rao now presiding over another collapse. A ruthless eightwicket demolition by Kolkata Knight Riders on Friday - DCs fifth straight home defeat - has snuffed out their playoffs hopes and prolonged the franchises agonising pursuit of a maiden IPL crown. Eighteen years, obviously it hurts. Seriously, when you look back, when I played during my days, I always wanted to win from Daredevils time to now. It's a learning process for me. Coming into the administration part, a lot of things I'm just learning. As per what the skipper said, we want to try youngsters and let's see, said a dejected Rao in the post-match press conference. The statistics paint a grim picture of a side that has lost its way in its own backyard. After an initial victory over Mumbai Indians, the Arun Jaitley Stadium has become a hunting ground for visitors rather than a stronghold for DC. On Friday, thanks to Finn Allens unbeaten 47-ball ton, KKR chased down 143 with clinical ease, needing just 14.2 overs to embarrass a DC side that appears tactically adrift. DCs campaign has been defined by wild inconsistency and a staggering inability to read local conditions, which have been varied in nature. Making 264 against Punjab Kings failed to translate into a win. Days later, the side posted the IPLs lowest powerplay total, slumping to 13/6 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and handed the initiative to the defending champions. A home match against Gujarat Titans slipped away by a single run after David Miller could not score two runs off two balls. Chennai Super Kings also recorded a comfortable victory in Delhi, as the Qila Kotla mention around the franchises pre-tournament promotions have turned a potential fortress into a liability and something which demands urgent review. See, not one department - I think all three departments failed. After getting a good start, after seven or eight overs, we were in a good position, one wicket or something down. Then later on, next six to seven overs, we couldn't get a boundary. In this big beast of a tournament, you can't miss chances. We need to win patches and those small, small areas - not only batting, even in bowling or fielding. In the whole tournament, when you see it, we couldn't win those small, small areas. One day in batting, one day in fielding, one day in bowling, added Rao. On Friday, DC were 74/2 in nine overs, though they didnt entirely break free in power-play due to slowness in pitch and one felt they could implode yet again. They had their reasons Pathum Nissanka was wonderful in his leg-side strokeplay, but then the spin choke from KKR, just like how they inflicted one over DC last year at this venue began to take shape. With five fielders patrolling the boundary, Sunil Narine, Varun Chakravarthy and Anukul Roy began to dictate terms and choke the scoring, as between overs 12-16 Delhi managed just 11 runs from 30 balls - a mid-innings drought which never happened in the IPL. The pressure was manufactured rather than mysterious. Roy set the tone, stumping Nissanka with a slower, wider delivery before castling Tristan Stubbs, as KKR exposed that DCs batting line-up could not adjust to sustained and accurate spin bowling. In all, DC played 51 dot balls, and in comparison to Allens brutal century, they looked like a side stuck in a batting template of a bygone era. I think in the last couple of matches, where we felt that batting is the main concern. When you're batting first, you saw last match also, we failed in the first 10 overs. Somewhere in the next 10 overs, we recovered. I think here also, when we got a good start, we couldn't capitalize. This kind of a tournament, you can't miss those patches. See, here we can't coach. Everybody has experience and at the end of the day, you need to read the situation, conditions and when you can adapt only, you win matches. We can't keep sending messages as a batting group. One more thing - the biggest challenge as a batting group is responsibility, when things fail, as a batting unit, you need to take responsibility. I'll do it, rather than somebody does it. So, I think that is missing, I felt. Maybe, let's see next couple of games, how this, as a batting unit, how it will turn up, elaborated Rao. When pressed further, Rao drew on specific matches to make his case. Sorry, I cannot point to just one department. In different matches, different departments have let us down. Against Punjab, we scored heavily but then dropped catches while bowling. In some games, the bowlers did well but the batters could not adapt. In the last two games especially, the batters struggled to adapt to the conditions. Overall, if you ask me, yes, batting has been an area where we needed to adapt better in certain conditions. Even in the first few games, after losing four or five wickets, we still managed to win a couple of matches. But sometimes, I think, the batting unit has let us down, he said. A question about skipper Axar Patels horrible run with the bat and if Prithvi Shaw will be given a chance prompted Rao to address it head-on. People will obviously ask whom you want to drop, Pathum or KL. But when it comes to captains and senior players in this format, you always want experienced people like them to do well. He has been a part of World Cup-winning squads and came into this tournament with strong reputations. Somewhere along the way, I think he lost form. Hopefully, he comes back strongly in the next three games. It hurts when you look at the opposition and see that some of the senior players could not perform. But we need to face the reality and accept it, he said. Rao also addressed the bowling group's difficulties, especially around premier wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav, whose lean run continued with him conceding 41 runs in three overs. A major part of Kuldeep looking pedestrian has been him missing his usual lengths, as batters freely send his overpitched and mostly short balls over the boundary ropes. A person like him is a bundle of experience - played and won two T20 World Cups. Sometimes a bad season happens. Everyone goes through it. I think, somewhere he lost the rhythm. I think he'll come back. See, by playing for more than 10 years in this circuit, he knows it. Sometimes you can't point and it happens in a tournament like this. We are facing it and we are at receiving end of it. Person like him, with Axar and all, if these two continue in good form, one is doing well, one is not doing, it hurts in the bowling group, especially in the middle of those. So, we are facing that failure, he said. Looking back across the full campaign, Rao traced a consistent thread of momentum losses that he believes has defined the season and was emphatic that DC have no one to blame but themselves. No, it is not only about the Punjab game. Even in the Gujarat game here, and in several other matches we needed to win, we lost important phases. That is what I keep saying. To win matches, you need to win key patches during the game. We have not done that consistently. If you look back, not just against Punjab but also against Gujarat, there were moments where two balls or two runs shifted the momentum away from us. Then we lost the Chennai game as well. We did win against RCB, but after that against Punjab we also had issues like injuries and concussion substitute for Ngidi. But we cannot keep giving excuses. We need to face the situation as it is. In a tournament like this, you cannot point to just one match. If you look back from the Gujarat game to this match, in almost every game we have not managed to win the small moments and key phases. That is why we are in this position on the points table right now, he said. If you look back, not just against Punjab but also against Gujarat, there were moments where two balls or two runs shifted the momentum away from us. Then we lost the Chennai game as well. We did win against RCB, but after that against Punjab we also had issues like injuries and concussion substitute for Ngidi. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Rao opened his press conference by lamenting the unbroken trophy drought, and closed it with the only stance left to him: cautious pragmatism and no guarantees. Obviously in the next three games, we will see how it goes. One game at a time and obviously we will try to use bench players. When the skipper says something like that, it is something we definitely want to try, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

New Delhi, May 09: Every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military adventure. Is it a crude pressure tactic? Or the result of a spoiler once again duping POTUS into another quagmire? With these sharp remarks posted on X, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi directly targeted US President Donald Trump amid escalating military tensions between Iran and the United States in and around the Strait of Hormuz. The exchange followed fresh US military action against Iranian-linked vessels and renewed clashes in the Gulf region despite an existing ceasefire framework aimed at facilitating negotiations. According to United States Central Command (CENTCOM), US forces disabled two Iranian-flagged oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman for allegedly violating the ongoing US blockade. CENTCOM said M/T Sea Star III and M/T Sevda were stopped before entering an Iranian port. It said a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS George H.W. Bush fired precision munitions into their smokestacks to disable the vessels. U.S. forces in the Middle East remain committed to full enforcement of the blockade of vessels entering or leaving Iran, CENTCOM quoted commander Admiral Brad Cooper as saying. The US military command further claimed that more than 70 tankers carrying an estimated 166 million barrels of Iranian oil worth over $13 billion were currently being prevented from entering or leaving Iranian ports. The latest confrontation came after both sides accused each other of launching attacks in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. CENTCOM accused Iran of carrying out missile, drone and small boat attacks against three US warships in what it termed an unprovoked attack. Iran, however, rejected the allegation and accused Washington of violating the ceasefire agreed upon on April 8, 2026. According to Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Irans Foreign Ministry condemned what it called the aggressive action of the US terrorist army against Iranian oil tankers and coastal facilities near the port of Jask and the Strait of Hormuz. The ministry claimed the attacks were met with a strong response and a heavy slap from Iranian armed forces and asserted that the US failed to achieve its objectives. The statement said the attacks constituted a clear violation of the ceasefire and a flagrant breach of the UN Charter. The continuation of aggressive actions, coupled with contradictory behavior, ridiculous rhetoric, and scandalous blame-game of senior U.S. officials, proves the depth of their desperation and confusion, the Iranian Foreign Ministry statement said. Araghchi, in his X post, further said, Iranians never bow to pressure and diplomacy is always the victim. He also dismissed reports about weakening Iranian missile capability. The CIA is wrong. Our missile inventory and launcher capacity are not at 75% compared to Feb 28. The correct figure is 120%. As for our readiness to defend our people: 1,000%, he wrote. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei also strongly criticised the United States. Vermin-like nocturnal scheming and naive euphemisms such as a light slap can do nothing to erase the profound disgrace born of narcissism, greed, reckless miscalculation, and lawless irresponsibility, Baqaei wrote on X, according to IRNA. The consequences of this whimsical adventurism and roguish behavior have now become clear to the entire world, he added. Meanwhile, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran remained committed to diplomacy and regional cooperation. The definitive policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to expand friendly relations based on mutual respect and shared interests, Pezeshkian wrote on X. Just as tolerance is deeply rooted in Iranian peoples culture, the struggle against oppression shines throughout the history of this land, he added. IRNA also reported that the Iranian Navy seized the oil tanker Ocean Koi, accusing it of trying to disrupt Iranian oil exports. The Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran will vigorously defend the interests and assets of the Iranian nation in the territorial waters of the country and will not tolerate any violator or aggressor, the Iranian Army Public Relations Office said. According to a report by BBC News, Iran blamed Trumps rhetoric and Washingtons military approach for worsening the crisis even as diplomatic discussions remained possible. BBC quoted Araghchi as saying the US repeatedly chose reckless military adventure whenever diplomacy appeared achievable. The report noted that despite the clashes, Trump insisted the ceasefire remained intact and claimed negotiations were still possible. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said US forces had destroyed multiple Iranian boats, missiles and drones. Just like we knocked them out again today, we'll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don't get their Deal signed, FAST! Trump wrote. BBC also reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran was expected to respond to American proposals aimed at ending the conflict. I hope it's a serious offer, I really do, Rubio said during a visit to Italy. The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the confrontation, with nearly 20 per cent of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments passing through the strategic waterway, making the escalating crisis a major concern for global energy markets and regional stability.

IPL 2026: Have Been Trying To Add More Strings To My Bow, Says Finn Allen After Unbeaten 47-ball Ton
Indian Premier League: Finn Allen, who became the Player of the Match via hitting a 47-ball unbeaten century in Kolkata Knight Riders eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, said he was pleased to contribute responsibly after early wickets, adding that he had been working hard to add more strings to his bow. Allens superb knock, laced with five fours and ten sixes, ensured KKR completed a chase of 143 with 35 balls to spare and helped the three-time champions seal their fourth consecutive win of the season. He was ably supported by Cameron Green, who hit 33 not out off 27 balls, as the duo shared an unbroken 116-run stand off 64 balls. What I've been working on is trying to have more strings to my bow. We obviously lost a couple of early wickets, so I just tried to have a bit of responsibility and get a win on the board for the boys. I mean, as I said, I just tried to knuckle down early. It was still a little bit challenging at the start. Axar bowled really well and restricted us. So like I said, just try to get in strong positions and bat deep, said Allen at the conclusion of the game. On his sixhitting model, Allen explained, I think that's the model I've been trying to do with my batting, I guess. If it's not easy, stay in there, working with Watto (assistant coach Shane Watson) and Abhishek (Nayar, head coach) as well. Just trying to give myself a chance, and I feel like I've got a few starts and it's been pretty frustrating, but here, nice to, I guess, have a little bit of personal success. He further said pacing the innings was about playing the situation and aiming to bat 40 balls. I think when the situation comes to it, you just forget about my batting and play the situation. I think I knew if I stayed out there for a long period of time, I would always come back to trying to bat 40 balls. It doesn't happen too often, but that was just what was keeping me ticking today and trying to take a game deep. Asked how he reacted to being out of the side and then slotted back into the playing eleven, Allen said, Oh, look, I think sometimes it changes your perspective, right? You go out of the team, have a bit of time for a mental refresh. To be honest, I was just putting too much pressure on myself at the start. So it was nice to have that, sit back, refresh, and come back in. Green, who partnered with Allen for the unbroken third-wicket stand, said he was chuffed for Allen to get the century. So special. I think you only get the chance to be at the other end a handful of times in your career, so that's one of them. Nothing really. I think, Finn, all he said was, 'See you next over.' I was just the other end playing second fiddle. On ensuring Allen reached his hundred, Green added, I think I did the math when we had 29 to get. So I knew I'd be the most hated man in Kolkata if I did anything else apart from that. No, not us -. I was, I did the math. But no, Finn's very good at maths as well, so I'll give him credit for that. So, he was probably doing the same. Green, who partnered with Allen for the unbroken third-wicket stand, said he was chuffed for Allen to get the century. So special. I think you only get the chance to be at the other end a handful of times in your career, so that's one of them. Nothing really. I think, Finn, all he said was, 'See you next over.' I was just the other end playing second fiddle. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Obviously, Sunny (Sunil Narine) and Varun (Chakaravarthy) have been awesome.
