Finn Allen reached 350 sixes in T20 cricket on Friday, bringing up the milestone with his second maximum of the game as Kolkata Knight Riders chased 143 against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Match 51 of the IPL 2026 season.
The New Zealand batter did it in his 189th T20 match and 186th innings, becoming the fifth New Zealand player to get to 350 T20 sixes. Only Colin Munro, with 582, Brendon McCullum, with 485, Martin Guptill, with 453, and Glenn Phillips, with 388, sit ahead of him among his countrymen.
Allen’s power game has been built on more than just the long ball. He also has over 480 fours in T20 cricket, a reminder that his scoring has come in bursts and in volume. Of his 350 sixes, 115 have come in T20 internationals for New Zealand, and he is one of only three New Zealand players to have reached 100 T20I sixes.
Guptill leads that list with 173 T20I sixes, while Tim Seifert has 110. That leaves Allen in a select group, even as the gap to the top of New Zealand’s T20 six-hitting chart remains wide.
The milestone came in the middle of a chase that gave it immediate weight, not as a ceremonial number on a quiet night but as part of KKR’s pursuit of 143. Allen’s second maximum was enough to put the mark in the record books and add another notch to a T20 career that has moved quickly through the format’s hardest-hitting ranks.
What comes next is whether he can keep climbing the list of New Zealand’s biggest T20 power hitters, with the current leader still well clear but the gap to the chasing pack far smaller.
