Riyan Parag Makes IPL History: First to Hit Six Consecutive Sixes in an Over.
In a historic IPL 2025 moment, Riyan Parag has etched his name in the record books by becoming the first batter to hit six consecutive sixes in an over during a match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.
Riyan Parag’s 36-Run Over – A Moment to Remember
The 22-year-old Assam cricketer launched an all-out assault on Moeen Ali, smashing six straight deliveries over the boundary ropes. This explosive feat came in the 16th over of the innings, helping RR post a mammoth total and stunning the cricketing world.
Parag’s incredible knock of 95 runs off 45 balls, laced with 7 fours and 8 sixes, powered Rajasthan Royals to a dominant position in the high-voltage IPL encounter.
Parag Joins the League of Legends
By hitting six sixes in an over, Parag joins an elite club of IPL power-hitters:
- Chris Gayle – 5 sixes in an over (2012)
- Rinku Singh – 5 sixes off Yash Dayal (2023)
- Rahul Tewatia – 5 sixes off Sheldon Cottrell (2020)
- Ravindra Jadeja – 5 sixes off Harshal Patel (2021)
Parag, however, stands alone at the top with the first-ever complete six-sixes-over in IPL history.
From Trolled to Trending: Parag Silences Critics
Interestingly, Parag’s 2023 tweet predicting his six-hitting heroics—“Four sixes in an over soon?”—had drawn ridicule online. Fast forward to IPL 2025, and the same confidence has translated into one of the most iconic moments in T20 cricket.
Why This Matters for Indian Cricket
Parag’s performance isn’t just a personal milestone—it signals the emergence of a new-age Indian finisher. With IPL selectors and national team scouts watching closely, his performance could fast-track his entry into India’s T20 squad.
