Consecutive Six Sixes By Riyan Parag, Still Could Not Find Mention In Record Books! Here’s Why News24 –

KKR displayed their strength at Eden Gardens through Andre Russell’s 51-run knock and Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s 44-run batting performance to earn 206/4 runs from their 20 overs against RR in IPL 2025. Rajasthan’s batters’ performance reached 205/8 due to their inability to seize one more run, which allowed Kolkata to win the match.

The defeat seemed heavy for Rajasthan at the time when they lost all five batters for 71 runs during the run chase. A lightning fast partnership between Hetmyer and Parag performed a rescue operation that pulled their team dangerously close to achieving their target.

Riyan Parag’s Blistering Knock

During his breathtaking batting performance Riyan Parag hit 95 runs after facing only 45 balls while hitting eight sixers along with six fours at a strike rate exceeding 211.11. The last few balls of his breathless inning nearly got RR to their target yet he lost his wicket to Harshit Rana while trying an above-average shot.

How Riyan Parag Missed Out on Creating History?

During the 13th over Parag sent five of Moeen Ali’s deliveries sailing over the boundary walls. After the strike rolled over Hetmyer gained one run in the first delivery of the 14th over then Parag hit his first batter to retake the batting order. After hitting a six on the first ball of the over Parag struck his sixth consecutive six from the second over with a hit against Chakravarthy.

The six sixes shot by Parag during two consecutive overs fell short of the elite record because they did not happen during a single over. Consequently, he denied himself the opportunity to become part of cricket history.
