Bollywood director’s son writes Ranji Trophy history: first player to score a century and double century in the same match


He achieved the feat during the match between Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh.

During the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024-25, the son of a Bollywood director scripted history with his brilliant batting display in the Plate division match between Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh.

Agni Chopra, son of renowned filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, in the process became the first domestic cricketer to achieve a rare feat.

Agni, who represents Mizoram in domestic cricket, is now the only player to have scored a century and a double in a single match.

Agni recorded a remarkable knock of 110 runs off 138 balls in the first innings, followed by an impressive 238 runs off 209 balls in the second. Looking in excellent form, Agni’s innings was instrumental in Mizoram claiming a huge 267-run victory.

Furthermore, the talented left-hander also bagged the Man of the Match award for his outstanding contribution.

Agni Chopra’s stellar batting can put him on the radar of IPL teams

Not just this season, Agni also looked in incredible form in domestic cricket last season. The 25-year-old finished the 2023-24 season with a staggering 939 runs in just six matches, including five centuries and three fifties, at an impressive average of 78.25 and an outstanding strike rate of 103.30.

He is already making waves in the cricket circuit by scoring tons of runs in the domestic space and with the IPL 2025 mega auction around the corner, we can expect some teams to show interest in him and keep the young talent on their radar.
