His explosive knock, which included 10 sixes and four boundaries, helped KKR secure a crucial 29-run win and stay in the playoff race.

Taking a brief break from the playing XI allowed him to reassess his mental approach and rediscover his love for the game.
Reflecting on his performance, Allen mentioned that he performs better when he is relaxed and enjoying himself, rather than feeling pressured. He emphasized the importance of mental clarity in his game. Despite facing tough conditions against GT, Allen remained composed and focused on rotating the strike when needed.

The opener’s ability to bounce back from a challenging phase is a testament to his determination and skill in the sport.
