New Delhi, May 16 -- Finn Allen missed a huge milestone of becoming the first Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter to recorded to hundreds in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the New Zealand opener fell just seven runs short of what could have been a scintillating century against Gujarat Titans on Saturday. Earlier, Allen had scored his maiden IPL hundred against Delhi Capitals.

Sent into bat first by Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill, Allen started slowly before going on a rampage against the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj and Jason Holder. Although KKR lost captain Ajinkya Rahane inside the powerplay, Allen went on with his business, and raced to his second fifty in just 21 balls.

Allen should also thank Hold...
