Sri Lanka, May 5 -- Riyan Parag became the first batter in the Indian Premier League to hit six sixes off successive deliveries.

The Rajasthan Royals' batsman achieved this impressive feat during their chase against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens, at 95 off 45 balls.

Parag surpassed Chris Gayle in 2012, Kieron Pollard in 2013, and Rinku Singh in 2023, who had all hit five successive sixes.

Coincidentally, the achievements all came in the second innings of their respective matches.
