New Zealand opener Finn Allen called Team India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan the best T20 batter as well. After a two-year absence from international cricket, Kishan has returned this year with a bang. He also played a massive role in India’s 2026 T20 World Cup triumph and is averaging an impressive 37.16 at a strike rate of over 173 in T20Is this year as well.

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Allen said: “There are so many guys who are playing such good cricket at the moment. You’ve got guys like Tim Seifert and things like that who have been whacking it everywhere they’ve been going lately. Again, Ishan, Kishan, and Abhishek Sharma are always scoring runs and smacking it. So, I mean, it’s pretty hard to just pick one. I think Kishan would be up there at the moment.”

Finn Allen also applauded Team India sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi for his stunning T20 performances and backed him to become the best-ever in the T20 format as well.

“He’s obviously incredibly talented. Yeah, it’s pretty unbelievable to watch sometimes. His bat swing and the way he plays are obviously incredible, and I’m sure he’s going to be one of the best ever at T20 cricket, if not the best ever. So, yeah, it’s obviously one of those things, right? I’m glad I’m not a bowler. And yeah, it’s pretty special watching him play sometimes,” he concluded.
