New Zealand opener Finn Allen has broken multiple T20 world records in a stunning display during the opening match of Major League Cricket (MLC). Playing for San Francisco Unicorns against Washington Freedom, the Kiwi batter delivered a historic innings, rewriting the record books.

In this explosive knock, Allen smashed more sixes in a single T20 innings than anyone in history, breaking the long-standing record held by Chris Gayle. Gayle had hit 18 sixes in his iconic IPL innings of 175*, but Allen went a step further.

What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Finn Allen has gone unsold in the IPL for the past three years, despite his evident power-hitting abilities. This innings could now mark a major turning point in his T20 career and spark renewed interest from franchise teams worldwide.
