Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane hailed Finn Allen’s unbeaten 47-ball century and credited his bowlers for setting the base for a clinical eight-wicket win over Delhi Capitals to get their fourth straight victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Friday.

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, KKR spinners Anukul Roy, Sunil Narine, and Varun Chakaravarthy had DC cornered in a tight grip and never let go of it, as the hosts were kept to 142/8. Allen then made sure that the script from the first innings wouldn't repeat in the second essay as he thrashed DC’s spinners to score his first IPL century and complete a chase of 143 with 34 balls to spare.
