Agni Chopra, son of ‘12th Fail’ film director Vidhu Vinod Chopra and film critic Anupama Chopra, has been in outstanding form with the bat during his first season in the Ranji Trophy. The 25-year-old batter achieved a stunning feat by scoring five consecutive centuries, setting a new Ranji Trophy record while representing Mizoram. Anupama Chopra posted on social media about Agni's world record and showed her pride with the caption 'Proud Mom'.
In his fourth First-Class match against Meghalaya, Agni displayed brilliance by scoring 105 runs from only 90 deliveries. His innings included 13 boundaries and four sixes, contributing significantly to Mizoram's total of 359 runs in the first innings.
Agni's debut in the Ranji Trophy was nothing short of spectacular. He impressed everyone with scores of 166 and 92 in his first match against Sikkim. Despite his outstanding performance, Mizoram fell short of victory. Undeterred, Agni continued his excellent form in the next match against Nagaland, scoring 164 runs in the first innings and adding 15 in the second. He maintained his impressive streak in the subsequent game against Arunachal Pradesh, where he scored a commendable 114 runs.
Agni's achievements have been widely praised in the cricketing community, with his total runs reaching 767 from just eight innings. While some may argue that these runs were scored in the Plate division against weaker teams, Agni's consistency and skill cannot be denied.
Agni's performance has been pivotal for the Mizoram team, indicating his potential to achieve even greater success as the season progresses. There are speculations about him surpassing the 1000-run milestone.
The Chopra family is currently experiencing a period of success, with Vidhu Vinod Chopra also receiving accolades in his field. His recent film "12th Fail" has garnered critical acclaim and multiple awards, mirroring the achievements of his son on the cricket field. As Agni continues to excel in the Ranji Trophy, the reaction of his proud mother reflects the joy and admiration felt by many for his world-record feat.
