In a thrilling IPL 2025 encounter held on Sunday, the Rajasthan Royals narrowly lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders by just one run. However, the highlight of the match was the explosive innings played by Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag, who smashed six consecutive sixes across two overs.
Riyan Parag’s Record-Breaking Inning
Riyan Parag led from the front and played one of the most explosive innings in IPL history. He scored 95 runs off just 45 balls, which included six towering sixes in a row. His knock almost took Rajasthan Royals over the finish line in what turned out to be a last-ball thriller.
The most electrifying moment came in the 13th over, when Parag went after KKR’s Moeen Ali. He hammered five consecutive sixes off the last five balls of the over. With momentum on his side, he continued his carnage in the very next over, hitting a sixth straight six off Varun Chakravarthy on the second ball of the 14th over (after Shimron Hetmyer took a single on the first ball).
