Kolkata Knight Riders kept their IPL 2025 playoffs hopes alive with a thrilling victory over Rajasthan Royals on Sunday at the Eden Gardens. Opting to bat, KKR posted a whopping total of 206\/4 in 20 overs with Andre Russell<\/a> regaining his form and hitting 57* off 25 balls. Later, RR’s had almost clinched a stunning win but KKR bounced back and won the match by just one run. The biggest star for RR was their captain Riyan Parag<\/a>, who hammered 95 off 45 balls and kept his side in the hunt.<\/p>\n

During his 95-run knock, Parag also had a ‘dream comes true’ moment, when he smashed six back-to-back sixes. In the 13th over of RR’s chase, Parag hit five consecutive sixes off Moeen Ali<\/a> as the KKR all-rounder leaked 32 runs.<\/p>\n

Later on the second delivery of the 14th over, Parag hit another six off Varun Chakarvarthy and completed his six sixes.<\/p>\n

This moment became a special one for Parag as two years ago, before the beginning of IPL 2023, the Assam-based cricketer had shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), where he had manifested about hitting four sixes in an over.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My inner conscience says i’m hitting 4 sixes in an over at some point this IPL..<\/p>\n

Two years later, he achieved more than his manifestation as he went on to hit six back-to-back sixes.<\/p>\n

Despite playing a memorable knock, RR, who are already eliminated from the playoffs race, faced an one-run defeat over KKR.<\/p>\n

“I was planning to stay till the last 2 overs, but unfortunately I got out in the 18th over. It was a miscalculation from my side. I think we could have found better options in the last 6 overs. Maybe other bowling options. No one to complain but ourselves, we should have finished it. We could have done something else in hindsight,” said Parag during the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n

“He (Russell) was 2 off 10 balls and the way he accelerated after that, it was great to watch. It’s a ground where sixes are hit. The wicket was a little tricky, so I had to pick my battles. I think I did it pretty well, until the time I got out. I have been telling that to myself, feels off to give an interview (as the losing captain.) We weren’t clinical on the field and the consequences are here,” he added.<\/p>\n
