[WATCH] IPL 2025: Riyan Parag smashes Moeen Ali for five sixes in single over against KKR

Riyan Parag rapidly shifted his gear to the top and hit back-to-back 6 consecutive sixes, 5 sixes in a Moeen Ali over, and one for Varun Chakravarthy. The momentum of the match was suddenly tilted from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the Rajasthan Royals (RR), the visiting team at the Eden Gardens. Rajasthan Royals were in deep trouble while chasing a total of 206, losing a couple of wickets in 8 runs. When the match was under KKR's control, Riyan Parag applied the well-known battle method— attack is the best defense. It was the 13th over of the second innings whenand all-rounder Moeen Ali found himself in between a Parag strong. The right-handed RR batter powered 5 back-to-back maximums in the crucial moment of the match.

Take a look at how Riyan Parag hit back-to-back 6s:

5 sixes in Moeen Ali's over

12.2: It was a flat, full-length delivery to the pads, and Parag, without showing any mercy, hoisted the ball for a maximum to complete his 50, his first half-century of the ongoing IPL 2025.

12.3: Another full-length delivery from the KKR all-rounder; this time it was on the off, Parag reached towards the line of delivery, and sent it to the gallery for the second 6 of the over.

12.4: Moeen came round the wicket for a fuller on the legs; the ball was within Parag's scent, and the result was the same: a hat trick of sixes.

12.5: Ali again chose to drop a full-length delivery, this time on this middle. The Indian batter positioned himself front leg well to send the ball over long on.

12.6: Moeen Ali didn't learn from his mistakes and again preferred to go fuller after a wide delivery. Parag was well balanced to expand his arms and launched the ball over the long-off fence.

A six for Varun Chakravarthy as well

13.2: The next ball Riyan Parag faced went for another biggie; this time, Varun Chakravarthy was the victim. Riyan went down to the ground and executed a well-crafted reverse sweep of the deep point region against a floater delivery.

Unfortunately, Parag's well-built 95 innings went in vain as KKR won the match by 1 run. After his dismissal, KKR bowled well in the death especially Harshit Rana, who held onto his nerves and helped KKR register much needed win. With this win KKR are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.
