The highlight of Parag’s outstanding 95-run inning included a ‘dream comes true’ experience when he landed six successive sixes. As Moeen Ali bowled the 13th over for KKR Parag blasted six successive sixes before he finished the over with 32 runs conceded. In the second delivery of the 14th over Parag smoked another six against Varun Chakarvarthy before accomplishing his six successive sixes.

Riyan Parag’s Views About The Match

“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.

“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.
