Riyan Parag's best came in Moeen Ali's over, which was the 13th over of the innings. After Shimron Hetmyer took a single on the first ball, the limelight was stolen by the Rajasthan Royals skipper, who then destroyed the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper with his brutal power hitting.

On the second ball of the over, Moeen Ali bowled a slot delivery drifting in towards Riyan Parag. The batter cleared his front leg and clubbed it over square leg for a maximum. With this six, he reached his fifty and then didn't stop after that.

On the third ball, Moeen Ali bowled a shortish delivery wide outside off, to which Riyan Parag reached out and smashed it over long-on for another maximum. The next ball had the same outcome as the spinner bowled another slot delivery around the pads, and the batter hit it over deep backward square leg.

The next ball was hit for another six as Moeen Ali bowled a back-of-a-length ball sliding across Riyan Parag. The batter stood tall and flat-batted it powerfully over long-on for a flat maximum. On the last ball, the batter hit another big six as he reached out to the full ball outside off and lifted it nicely over long-off to clear the fence.

Riyan Parag then ensured that he hit six sixes in the six balls as the very next delivery of the next over that he faced went for a maximum. Varun Chakravarthy bowled a tossed delivery that was the full ball on off, the batter switched his stance and reverse hit it over deep backward point.
