KKR vs RR: This outstanding achievement marks the first time the batsman has hit six sixes in IPL history.
In an IPL 2025 match against the Kolkata Knights riders, the explosive hit rate was amazing, and Rajasthan Royals’ substitute Riyan Parag made history by portraying his name on the record. The 23-year-old all-around player showed off his abilities by defeating six sixes in a row in outstanding batting performances.
Parag's incredible feat started with five straight up five times, the 13th legal delivery for the Rajasthan Royals, bowled by Moeen Ali. Parag was uncomfortable and continued his six-strike revelry by launching a bowling shot by Varun Chakaravarthy on the border. This outstanding achievement marks the first time the batsman has hit six out of six in IPL history.

Parag now joins the ranks of legendary players such as Chris Gayle, Rahul Tewatia and Rinku Singh, who hit five sixes in one game. But Parag's feat of hitting six out of six in an overdue match made him a truly outstanding talent.
Hit 5 sixes in IPL
Chris Gayle vs Rahul Sharma, 2012
Rahul Tewatia vs S Cotterell, 2020
Ravindra Jadeja vs Harshal Patel, 2021
Rinku Singh vs Yash Dayal, 2023
Riyan Parag vs Moeen Ali, 2025*
Although no player achieved this milestone in Indian Premier League history, three batsmen managed to score six sixes in a row in the T20 international match. Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee achieved this feat in two matches against Qatar and Mongolia. Kieron Pollard achieved this milestone in 2021 while competing with Sri Lanka. Yuvraj Singh hit Stuart Broad six-sixths at the 2007 T20 World Cup.
