Agni Chopra, son of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who scored runs in Indian domestic cricket, is currently playing in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC) tournament in the US. Fans and cricket experts are quite curious to know how this youth became eligible to play in the foreign T20 tournament without retirement despite the strict rules of BCCI.
Chopra is one of the emerging stars in domestic cricket and her record has been quite spectacular representing Mizoram. In such a situation, some fans are also assuming that perhaps they will not be seen playing in Indian domestic cricket. If you are also thinking of this, then let’s remove your curiosity because it is learned that Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s son has been allowed to participate in the foreign T20 tournament because he was born in Michigan, Detroit and does not have an Indian passport.
The 26 -year -old left -arm batsman was also part of the mega auction of IPL 2025, but he was not bought by any team. Chopra recently revealed in an interview that if he was purchased in auction, he would have applied for Indian passport. He quoted TOI as saying, “If I were selected in the Indian Premier League, I would have applied for Indian passport and would have been here, but now I am eagerly waiting for my time in America.”
If we talk about 26-year-old Agni Chopra, he made a lot of headlines during the 2023-24 Ranji Trophy season, where he scored 939 runs in 12 innings at an average of 78.25. These were the most runs scored by any batsman in that season. He has played a total of 11 first class matches, 12 List-A matches and 16 T20 matches in his career. This young player has an average of 94.94 in the first class, 24.91 in List A and 30.13 in T20. Agni’s domestic record has been very excellent, but in MLC she has flopped in the first two matches played for Mi New York. He has scored 5 and 8 scores in the tournament, so he would like to contribute more to the remaining matches.
