Jaw-Dropping Feat Seals His Place in Cricket History
In an edge-of-the-seat IPL 2025 thriller, Riyan Parag delivered one of the most electrifying performances in T20 history by smashing six consecutive sixes — a first in the league. The stunning act unfolded during a high-pressure chase that saw Rajasthan Royals fall just one run short against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Build-Up: From Crisis to Carnage
Rajasthan Royals’ innings was in shambles at 71 for 5 when Parag walked in. With little support and a steep 207-run target looming, few expected what was to come. Displaying nerve and intent, the 23-year-old all-rounder launched a breathtaking counterattack that left spectators stunned.
Six in a Row: How It Happened
The historic moment began in the 13th over. Facing off-spinner Moeen Ali, Parag launched four massive sixes on consecutive deliveries. A wide delivery followed — then came a fifth. The next over saw him reverse-sweep Varun Chakravarthy for a sixth six, completing an unprecedented streak.
These sixes weren’t just big — they were fearless, clean, and clinical. Though spread across two overs, the six-ball sequence will go down as one of the most spectacular ever witnessed in the IPL.
Myth or Miracle? It’s Real.
While such feats often invite disbelief, Parag’s six-in-six is fully verified and recognized as an official IPL record. He becomes the first player in the tournament’s 17-year history to achieve this across two overs.
Match Outcome: Glory Overshadowed by Defeat
Despite the heroics, Rajasthan’s hopes were dashed in the final over, finishing one run short in a heartbreaking loss. Parag’s valiant 95 off 45 balls was in vain, yet his individual brilliance was the undisputed headline of the night.
The Bigger Picture: A Star Emerges
This season has marked a major turning point for Parag. Now among the top four in the tournament for most sixes, he has cemented his role as a dynamic match-winner. At just 23, his potential appears limitless.
