Tue May 06 17:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Rajasthan Royals’ Parag Hits Five Sixes in One Over, Fulfilling Two-Year-Old Prediction
**Kolkata, India** – Rajasthan Royals’ acting captain, Riyan Parag, etched his name in IPL history on Sunday, smashing five consecutive sixes in an over bowled by Chennai Super Kings’ Moeen Ali at Eden Gardens. This incredible feat not only fulfilled a two-year-old prediction Parag made on Twitter (“My gut feeling says I’ll hit 4 sixes in an over this IPL.”), but also made him the fifth player to achieve this remarkable accomplishment in the IPL.
Parag’s explosive hitting came at a crucial moment in the match, with Rajasthan Royals struggling at 91/5. He went on to score a 27-ball fifty, including a 74-meter six over square leg. His onslaught continued with another 90-meter six, followed by three more sixes against Moeen Ali, including a slog sweep off a ball delivered at his legs. He even added a sixth six off the very first ball of the next over bowled by Varun Chakravarthy, achieving six consecutive sixes technically.
Parag joins an elite club of IPL players who have hit five sixes in a single over, including Chris Gayle, Rahul Tewatia, Ravindra Jadeja, and Rinku Singh. His performance sparked a viral frenzy on social media, with fans celebrating the remarkable achievement and the fulfillment of his bold prediction. The match, however, is not discussed further in this article.
