Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s son Agni ignites the Ranji Trophy with four consecutive centuries, ‘Proud Mom’ Anupama Chopra cheers

Agni Chopra, the 25-year-old son of acclaimed film director Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra, has emerged as a cricketing sensation in his debut season of the Ranji Trophy. The talented batter etched his name in the record books by achieving an extraordinary feat—scoring four consecutive centuries in his inaugural season while representing Mizoram.

Anupama Chopra, expressing her pride, shared Agni’s remarkable accomplishment on social media with a heartfelt caption that read, ‘Proud Mom.’ In a standout performance against Meghalaya, Agni showcased his batting prowess by amassing 105 runs off a mere 90 deliveries, including 13 boundaries and four maximums. This stellar contribution significantly contributed to Mizoram’s imposing first-inning total of 359 runs.

Agni’s debut in the Ranji Trophy was nothing short of spectacular. In his first match against Sikkim, he displayed his mettle with impressive scores of 166 and 92. Despite his stellar efforts, Mizoram fell short of a victory. Undeterred, Agni continued his fine form in the subsequent clash with Nagaland, registering 164 runs in the first inning and adding 15 in the second. His scintillating streak persisted in the following encounter against Arunachal Pradesh, where he amassed a commendable 114 runs.

Can Agni Chopra break the 1000-run mark?

Agni’s achievements have sparked conversations in the cricketing community, amassing a total of 767 runs in just eight innings. While some critics point out that these runs were accumulated in the Plate division against potentially weaker teams, Agni’s consistency and skill have undeniably captured attention. He is the highest run scorer after four rounds of the ongoing tournament.

Agni’s outstanding performances have become instrumental for the Mizoram team, reflecting his potential to achieve even greater milestones as the season progresses. Speculations are rife about Agni crossing the 1000-run mark, a testament to his remarkable form. The Chopra family seems to be experiencing a golden period, with Vidhu Vinod Chopra also tasting success in the film industry.

His recent film “12th Fail” has garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards, mirroring the triumphs of his son on the cricket pitch. As Agni continues to shine in the Ranji Trophy, the joy and admiration expressed by his proud mother encapsulate the sentiments of many who applaud this young cricketer’s world-record feat.
