Riyan Parag created history in the 53rd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), becoming the first ever cricketer to hit six consecutive sixes in the tournament.
The captain of the Rajasthan Royals turned the game on its head single-handedly by hitting five sixes in a single over off Moeen Ali in the 13th over of the innings. In the very next over, Parag smashed Varun Chakaravarthy for a maximum to make it six consecutive sixes in the innings.
The Royals were reeling at 71/5 at one stage, but Parag absorbed all the pressure before taking on Moeen to stun KKR out of nowhere.
He reached his fifty off just 27 balls and, courtesy of those six consecutive maximums, reached the 90s. However, he couldn’t complete his maiden century in the cash-rich league. But his brilliant six-hitting spree helped him create history.
