Hitting six consecutive sixes in any form of the game of cricket is a super difficult task to complete. It’s tougher than scoring a century or double century, and tougher than picking up a hat-trick or 5-fer with the ball. It’s something that has happened only a handful number of times in cricketing history, across formats, and across different countries in the world.
When you think of 6 sixes in an over, thoughts go back to Herschelle Gibbs from the 2007 ODI World Cup, or Yuvraj Singh in the 2007 T20 World Cup. In non-international games, Gary Sobers and Ravi Shastri are players who have achieved the same milestone. However, there’s also a possibility of hitting 6 consecutive sixes in cricket, but not necessarily in a single over.
In 18 years of the Indian Premier League (IPL), not a single batter has managed to hit six sixes in a single over but in the IPL 2025 season, Rajasthan Royals’ stand-in captain Riyan Parag became the first player in the tournament’s history to have hit 6 consecutive sixes, doing so in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders, spread across two different overs.

Many players have hit 5 sixes in an over in the IPL including Ravindra Jadeja, Chris Gayle, Rinku Singh, and others. However, Riyan became the first to score 6 consecutive sixes, smashing Moeen Ali for 5 consecutive sixes in the 13th over of a chase against KKR, followed by a reverse sweep six in the next over against Varun Chakaravarthy. See our list below for every instance where a batter has hit 6 consecutive sixes in the IPL, last updated 4th May 2025:

We have seen big overs in the IPL in the past, with Prashanth Parameswaran and Harshal Patel holding the joint unwanted record for the most expensive over in the IPL, each of them giving away 37 runs against Chris Gayle and Ravindra Jadeja respectively. None of those instances however, saw a batter hitting 6 consecutive sixes in this competition.

With bats becoming bigger, strike rates improving year on year, and IPL rules being made heavily in the favour of batters, we don’t think that Riyan Parag will be alone on this list for too long. Just a day before Parag broke this record, Romario Shepherd from RCB scored 33 runs in an over against Khaleel Ahmed, so 6 sixes in the IPL seems increasingly possible every day.
