IPL | Twitter reacts as Parag’s two-year-old tweet ages like fine wine with five sixes off Moeen Ali

‌In response to Kolkata Knight Riders' 206/4, Rajasthan Royals had a dreadful start as Vaibhav Suryavanshi and debutant Kunal Rathore were dismissed in the first two overs. At 9/2, the visitors were under immense pressure, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag at the crease. However, they responded with composure and counter-attacked effectively. Parag sparked the recovery, lifting the score to 37/2 by the fourth over, and Jaiswal joined in, guiding the Royals to 59/2 at the end of the powerplay. But momentum shifted again as Jaiswal and Rathore both departed soon after, leaving Rajasthan in a vulnerable position. Varun Chakaravarthy then tightened the screws, picking up two key wickets—Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga—in the eighth over, tilting the game back in Kolkata’s favour. Despite the setbacks, Parag showed remarkable resilience. He brought up a gritty 27-ball fifty and then unleashed mayhem in the 13th over, smashing Moeen Ali for five consecutive sixes in a jaw-dropping display of power.
