Rajasthan Royals’ young star Riyan Parag played an incredible innings against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), scoring 95 runs from just 45 balls. Although he missed a century by 5 runs, he made headlines by hitting six sixes in a row during his fiery knock.
Old Tweet Comes True
After his powerful performance, an old tweet from Riyan Parag from 2023 went viral. In the tweet, he had written:
“My inner conscience says I’m hitting 4 sixes in an over at some point this IPL..”
Fast forward to IPL 2025, and Parag did more than just that — he smashed five sixes in one over against Moeen Ali, and then hit another six on the first ball of the next over against Varun Chakaravarthy. That made it six sixes in six balls!

Close Match, But RR Falls Short
Despite Parag’s amazing performance, the match ended in heartbreak for Rajasthan Royals. KKR won the match by just 1 run in a thrilling finish at Eden Gardens. This win helped KKR stay in the race for the playoffs.
