Hitting a six is every batter's aspiration, but it's truly remarkable when a player executes an extraordinary shot, propelling the ball into a colossal six. Riyan Parag of the Rajasthan Royals recently showcased such brilliance, replicating this feat by smashing a tennis-style shot for a six.

‌The Rajasthan Royals faced a shaky start with star openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal departing early in the powerplay without much fireworks. At 54/2 by the end of the powerplay, all attention turned to RR skipper Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag to lead the charge. The duo shifted gears post-powerplay, propelling their side to 89/2 in 10 overs and continuing their brilliance to reach 128/2 in 14 overs. While Samson showcased his batting prowess, Parag displayed some flamboyant strokeplay including a daring tennis-style shot six off Naveen-ul-Haq.

On the fifth delivery of the 15th over, Naveen aimed a slower bouncer wide outside the off stump, hoping to force a mistimed shot from Riyan. However, the 22-year-old Assam talent utilized his bottom hand to perfection, emulating a tennis-style smash towards long-off. The shot was impeccably struck, sailing over the long-off fielder for a magnificent six.

Twitter erupted with amazement at Riyan's audacious stroke, with users flooding social media to express their astonishment.
