Riyan Parag shocked the cricketing world with an incredible display of power-hitting in the exciting IPL 2025 match featuring the Rajasthan Royals against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The young RR batsman hit 6 successive sixes, the first in IPL history.
Moeen Ali’s Over: 5 Sixes in a Row
Parag’s assault started in the 13th over, an over bowled by offspinner Moeen Ali. Shimron Hetmyer took a single off the first ball, and then Parag went berserk, hitting 5 sixes in a row off the next five balls, and also got a wide from Moeen, giving away a total of 32 runs — one of the most expensive overs of IPL 2025.
