NZ vs SA : Allen-Seifert-Rachin. The whole world saw the power of three KKR stars in the semi-finals of T20 World Cup 2026.
Calcutta : Finn Allen: 33-ball century against South Africa in T20 World Cup with attacking batting. 10 fours and 8 sixes. Third fastest century in the history of T20 cricket.
Tim Seifert: Often paired with Allen in a “Bash Brother” style. Seifert played a brilliant innings of 58 runs off 33 balls in the World Cup semis.
Rachin Ravindra: Now he is the important all-rounder of New Zealand. He made 13 runs with the bat. He took two wickets with 29 runs in 4 overs with the ball in hand.
Then you can understand, South Africa lost to three stars in the World Cup semi-final! And these three are now knights. That is KKR cricketer. KKR bought Aylen for Tk 2 crore, Seifert for Tk 1.5 crore and Rachin for Tk 2 crore. Kolkata Knight Riders have brought home three jewels by spending only five and a half crore rupees.
The rest of the IPL teams did not show interest in them. As a result, KKR has taken these three stars in the base prize. And now it seems, KKR management took the best decision. Because these three champion teams like South Africa were seized in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Seifert and Allen scored 117 runs in 9.1 overs on the day. The South African bowlers had nothing to do but look helpless. Allen took the man of the match award and said, “I went out to bat with a very easy target. I will perform for the team. From the beginning, I will play in such a way that the team can reach a good place. Seifert and I wanted to start off right. So that the pressure is less on the rest from the beginning. That’s how I played today.
