Agni Chopra creates first-class record by smashing centuries in first 4 games

(Cricket news) Son of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra – Agni Chopra has become the first batter to smash 4 centuries in his first four first-class games. Agni, is the son of Anupama Chopra, a film critic, and Vidhu Vinod Chopra, a filmmaker who just produced the hit film 12th Fail.

Agni Chopra made his debut for Mizoram in the Plate league of the Ranji trophy this month, after moving out of the Mumbai circuit where he represented Mumbai in U19 and U23 stage. He has scored 105, 101, 114, 10, 164, 15, 166, and 92 in his first four Ranji games, at an exceptional average of 95.87, with a strike rate of 111.80.

“Coming here in Mizoram, everyone has been very welcoming and really included me and there are two more pros — KC bhai (KC Cariappa) and Mohit Jangra,” he told PTI. “They are inclusive and welcoming and I never felt like an outsider. I have been taught a few Mizo words and phrases and I don’t feel in a vastly different place.”

He says his current aim is to help Mizoram qualify for the Plate League final, which will promote them to the Elite League next season.

“People will say what they have to say but, at the end of the day, it’s your performance and there are lot many players who are playing in the same division and not scoring that many runs. The standard is same for everyone.
