Over the years, the cricket world has witnessed the evolution of Riyan Parag in the Rajasthan Royals camp. Once a promising youngster, he’s now a pillar of RR’s strength, even stepping up to lead the franchise in Samon's absence.

After smashing an exceptional knock against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Parag fulfilled his years-old manifestation. With the RR skipper manifesting a six-hitting spectacle in a single over, Eden Gardens watched in awe as Parag delivered the fireworks, bringing his vision to life in stunning style.

When Riyan Reveals His Dream

When the boundary ropes tremble under a barrage of sixes, T20 cricket delivers its signature thrill. Those moments add extra flavour to the match. Being a crucial member of India’s U-19 World Cup-winning squad in 2018, Riyan Parag came into the limelight. The IPL became the perfect stage for his evolution, as Parag honed his skills and transformed into a key all-rounder for the Rajasthan Royals.

Known for his aggressive batting style, Riyan dreamt of smashing big hits all over the ground a long time ago. The power-hitter made a tweet on his desire to hit four sixes in an over. In 2023, Riyan posted, “My inner conscience says I’m hitting 4 sixes in an over at some point this IPL.”

After that, the post grabbed the attention as the batter faced some harsh criticism, as the netizens didn’t hold back from trolling him. But it says, good things take time. It took the all-rounder a while to shut down the doubters, but when he finally did, it came at the perfect moment.


Manifestation Turns Into Reality

After years of hard work and limitless hustle, the manifestation turns into reality, but with something extra. Putting all the hard work over the years, Riyan smashed five consecutive sixes against Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2025. In the 13th over of the second innings, Riyan was on the strike and Moeen Ali came to bowl.

While hitting a six in the second ball, he smashed his half-century and didn’t hold back from attacking. In the next four balls, he smashed four sixes, scoring 30 runs in an over. After that mad display, he became the fifth player in the IPL to smash five sixes in an over.

But the knock ended up in a heartbreaking way for the RR skipper as he missed his well-deserved century by just 5 runs, being dismissed scoring 95 runs in just 45 balls. But the woes deepened as even after a deadly fight back, the Rajasthan Royals faced a gut-wrenching 1-run defeat.
