Riyan Parag Creates IPL History with Six Back-to-Back Sixes – A Moment to Remember

In a thrilling IPL 2025 match at Eden Gardens, Riyan Parag of the Rajasthan Royals scripted history by becoming the first player in IPL history to hit six consecutive sixes across legal deliveries. Although Rajasthan narrowly lost the match to Kolkata Knight Riders by just one run, Parag’s record-breaking knock has earned him a permanent place in IPL folklore.

What Happened?

The explosive moment came during the 13th and 14th overs of Rajasthan’s chase.

In the 13th over, bowled by Moeen Ali, Parag smashed five sixes in a row, including one after a wide ball. Then, in the next over bowled by Varun Chakravarthy, he reverse-swept the very first ball he faced for another towering six – making it six sixes on six consecutive deliveries faced.

This rare achievement has never happened before in the IPL, making it a proud moment for Indian cricket fans and especially for the young Assamese cricketer, who’s often been under pressure to prove himself.

Why It Matters

While Rajasthan Royals fell short by just one run in their chase, Riyan Parag’s knock of 95 off 45 balls was a sensational reminder of his talent. As a result, fans and experts alike are calling this one of the best individual T20 performances of the season.

Moreover, Parag now sits in the top 5 for most sixes in IPL 2025, showing consistency along with fireworks.
