Mizoram sensation Agni Dev Chopra got a double century for the second day in a row, continuing his run-scoring spree in the Ranji Trophy's Plate League. In Mizoram's opening innings against Manipur, he hit 218 off just 269 balls, marking his third century in just three games this season.

With his outstanding exploits in the Ranji Trophy 2024, Agni Chopra, the son of famed filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra, is drawing notice in the cricket community. After showcasing skills and playing like a cricket legend, it seems clear he is a promising rising star in the cricket world. We can call him a gift from the film industry to the cricket world.

Agni Chopra Personal Life:

With his father, Vidhu Vindhu Vinod Chopra, a renowned director and producer, and his mother, Anupama Chopra, a renowned cinema critic, Agni's family have a unique bond with the movie theatre. Agni is the talk of the cricket world, but his father, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has recently found success with the highly regarded movie "12th Fail." Vidhu Vindhu Vinod Chopra has two other children. Agni has a sister named Zuni Chopra. Meanwhile, the other sibling is unknown.

Journey into the cricket world:

Agni became the only player in history to begin his first-class career with four consecutive hundreds, even surpassing great players like Don Bradman. Agni's path demonstrates perseverance and a desire to succeed on the field. Particularly for young players hoping to establish themselves in domestic cricket, his journey is inspirational. Agni, in contrast to many others, is adamant that he will not receive preferential treatment at the IPL auction. He maintains that his abilities, not his father's industry connections, should be the basis for any team interest.

Way to fame:

In Mizoram's opening innings against Manipur, he hit 218 off just 269 balls, marking his third century in just three games this season. The last time Mizoram played Arunachal Pradesh in Ahmedabad, Chopra scored 110 and an undefeated 238. That game was won by Mizoram by 267 runs. Chopra has played for Mumbai at the under-19 and under-23 levels in the past. With selection in the Mumbai senior teams eluding him, coach Khuspreet Singh then suggested that the 25-year-old play for another team in order to gain more playing time.
