Riyan Parag Creates History with Unbelievable Six-Hitting Feat in IPL 2025
Riyan Parag becomes the first player to hit six consecutive sixes in IPL history during a match against KKR at Eden Gardens.
Riyan Parag Scripts History with Six Consecutive Sixes in IPL 2025 Clash Against KKR
On May 4, 2025, at Eden Gardens, Riyan Parag stamped his name in the annals of IPL history with an astounding performance against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The 23-year-old right-handed batter from Assam, captaining Rajasthan Royals in the absence of Sanju Samson, stomped to 95 off a mere 45 deliveries in a high-octane chase of 207 runs. What caught the imagination of cricket aficionados and analysts alike was the world-record achievement of Parag — being the first batter in IPL history to clout six consecutive sixes.
When he came into bat at No. 4, Parag indicated that he had the composure to assess the situation and to play aggressive cricket on occasion, and then unleash an onslaught. The twelfth over and the first three balls of the 13th were the stages set for the avalanche. The moment of history dawned upon in the 13th over, when he launched himself against Ali, firing five sixes in a row — a feat that matches only a few of the likes of Chris Gayle, Rahul Tewatia, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rinku Singh in the earlier seasons of IPL — but Parag made it out of the pages of history by treating the second ball of the next over, bowled by Varun Chakaravarthy, with yet another skyscraping six, completing what is most easily described as an extraordinary case of six sixes in six legitimate deliveries.
Three international players — Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, and Dipendra Singh Airee — have previously hit six sixes in one T20I over, but no one has done so in an IPL game until Riyan Parag shattered the glass ceiling. The unusual occurrence confirmed the measure of Parag’s ability to hit big, calculate coolly under pressure, and mature as a cricketer.
And thus, despite all the heroism, Rajasthan Royals could not end up winning by some sheer bad luck — only a one-run loss. Chasing down a torturous target of 207, RR stayed alive due to the fireworks from Parag, but sadly, his fellow batters could not elevate him to a comfortable position. Parag’s departure for 95, having been caught by Vaibhav Arora off Harshit Rana in the 18th over, was the proverbial dagger in the heart for RR.

KKR bowlers, particularly Harshit Rana, Moeen Ali, and Varun Chakaravarthy, applied pressure at crucial points, all accounting for two wickets. That defeat marked RR’s ninth of the season and left them eighth in the points table with only six points from 12 matches.
While the Royals may have fumbled, Riyan Parag’s historic accomplishment will linger across the annals of history. From being an emerging player to now a record-breaking skipper, Parag’s name is forever written in the chronicles of IPL. As the fans recollect this humongous performance, it is safe to state that one of the unforgettable moments of IPL 2025 season just unrolled.
