15 sixes… created havoc in just 30 balls, no one was ready to buy him even for Rs 75 lakh in IPL

He was sold for Rs 80 lakh in the IPL 2022 auction, but did not get a chance to play any match. He again entered the IPL 2024 auction, this time the base price was only Rs 75 lakh, but no buyer was found. But, after what that player has done now, there may be a competition to buy him in the IPL 2025 auction.

What if no one bought him in the IPL 2024 auction? What if he had to remain unsold despite having a base price of Rs 75 lakh? Now before IPL 2025, that player has shown that he is no less than anyone. His strength is not less in any matter. He has amazing power to hit sixes. And he has shown something similar in the Major League Cricket being played in America, where he has hit 15 sixes one after the other. We are talking about New Zealand batsman Finn Allen.
34 balls already won by San Francisco Unicorns
In MLC 2024, Seattle Orcas and San Francisco Unicorns were competing. In this match played on 20th July, Seattle Orcas were defeated by San Francisco Unicorns by 6 wickets with 34 balls to spare, in which 26-year-old right-handed Kiwi batsman Finn Allen played a big role. While chasing the target of 153 runs from Seattle Orcas, as an opener, Finn Allen played such a destructive innings in just 30 balls that the match was decided right there.
15 sixes so far… created havoc in just 30 balls
San Francisco Unicorns batsman Finn Allen made a tremendous explosion at a strike rate of more than 256. This explosion from Finn's bat against Seattle Orcas was seen on 30 balls. In those 30 balls, he scored 77 runs with 6 sixes and 8 fours, which is the highest score from his bat in Major League Cricket.
With this big score, in the current season of the league, Finn Allen's total runs in 5 matches have reached 186 with a strike rate of 202.17. During this period, a total of 15 sixes have come from Finn's bat.
Finn Allen was bought by RCB
Finn Allen may not have found any buyer in the IPL 2024 auction. But, he has been associated with the RCB team before that. In IPL 2021, RCB had added him as a replacement for Josh Phillips. After that, in the IPL 2022 auction, RCB bought Finn Allen for Rs 80 lakh. After seeing his performance in MLC 2024, it is expected that now he can get a good amount in the IPL 2025 auction.
