In a remarkable and historic moment Riyan Parag etched his name into the record books by becoming the first batter in IPL history to hit six consecutive sixes. The unthinkable happened during the IPL clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, May 4th at the Eden Gardens.

Royals Star Becomes First to Hit 6 in 6

The explosive right-hander achieved this extraordinary feat during Royals’ mammoth run chase, leaving fans and commentators in absolute awe. The carnage began when Parag launched an all-out assault on Moeen Ali, smashing five consecutive deliveries out of the park. But he wasn’t done yet.

In the very next over of Varun Chakravarthy, Parag pulled out a stunning reverse sweep to send the ball sailing over the ropes once again, making it six sixes in six balls across two overs.

While there have been four players before him who have managed to hit five consecutive sixes in the tournament's history, Riyan Parag is now the first to go one step further and complete a full set of six.

The sheer confidence in his ball striking stunned the opposition and ignited celebrations among the Rajasthan Royals camp and fans across the globe in social media platforms. Known for his aggressive batting, Parag’s innings on the night will be remembered as one of the greatest individual moments the IPL has ever witnessed.

It was a real statement from a young star rising to the occasion in style after what has been a below par IPL 2025 campaign for the RR’s stand-in skipper.

He went on to play a sensational knock, scoring 95 off just 45 balls, narrowly missing out on what could have been a stunning century. Despite his heroics, RR suffered a dramatic collapse and eventually lost the game by a narrow 1-run margin.
