finn allen reached 350 sixes in T20 cricket on Friday, doing it in Kolkata Knight Riders’ chase of 143 against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The milestone came with his second maximum of the match in Match 51 of the IPL 2026 season.
He got there in his 189th T20 match and his 186th innings. Allen became only the fifth New Zealand batter to reach the 350-sixes mark, a group that now sits behind Colin Munro, Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill and Glenn Phillips.
Arun Jaitley Stadium milestone
The second six mattered because it pushed Allen to 350, not just another big hit in a chase that had already narrowed the game to a simple target. He opened for KKR and reached the mark while the side was pursuing 143, with the innings moving through the middle overs at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Allen’s pace to the milestone gives the number more shape. He reached it in 189 T20 matches and 186 innings, which places the total in a relatively compact span for a batter known for clearing the ropes.
New Zealand six-hitter group
The Kiwi list ahead of him is steep. Munro has 582 T20 sixes, McCullum 485, Guptill 453 and Phillips 388, while Allen now sits next in line with 350.
His power has not come only in franchise cricket. Allen has 115 sixes in T20Is for New Zealand and is one of only three players to reach 100 T20I sixes for the national side, with Guptill on 173 and Tim Seifert on 110.
Allen’s next benchmark
Allen’s latest mark gives KKR another opener with a clear boundary-hitting profile, but it also pushes him deeper into a small New Zealand class rather than a broad one. Crossing 350 leaves him within reach of the next ladder of names, with the gap to Phillips standing at 38 sixes.
For readers tracking the numbers, the useful detail is simple: Allen is now on 350 in T20 cricket, has more than 480 fours, and has done it in a role that keeps putting him in front of new chances to add to that total.
