Agni Chopra is a left-hand top-order batter who has made a serious impression in Ranji Trophy cricket since his debut early January 2024.
In his first season for Mizoram, having moved from Mumbai, he struck a sensational hundred (166) on debut in the first innings, then backed up with 92 in the second. Incredibly, despite his 258 runs in the game, his side went down to Sikkim by 4-wickets in the Ranji Trophy opener.
When breaking down the numbers, his performance was quite remarkable. His 166 contributed to 78% of Mizoram’s first innings runs (214), and included 19 fours and 7 sixes, scored from only 179 balls. Only two other players made double figure scores, namely 16, and 18.
Following on, Chopra was Mizoram’s mainstay yet again, narrowly falling shy of back-to-back debut tons, scoring 92. His innings came from only 74 balls, all with a strike rate of 124.
Roll on his second Ranji match, this time against Nagaland. He would blaze yet another century, this time a 150-ball 164 with 21 fours and 3 sixes (SR: 109.33). Not content, Chopra would go on to register 3 hundreds in his next four Ranji Trophy innings with 114 v Arunachal, before successive tons against Meghalaya (105 and 101).
Born in the US (Detroit), Chopra moved to Mizoram this summer and featured in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (Nov/Dec 2023), registering notable scores against J&K (76, 50), and Bihar (48). However, it’s his Ranji debut that’s sparked interest on the domestic circuit.
His run spree, though, has come as no surprise to those in the know. Chopra was a constant performer through the age-groups for Mumbai (U14s to U23s), playing in all the major Trophy tournaments. However, due to the depth and strength of the Mumbai seninor squad, Chopra decided to make the move to Mizoram for regular game time. The rest, they say, is history.
The talented batter, who doubles as a useful off-spin bowler, is now eager to continue his success throughout the Ranji campaign, before exploring options abroad from 2024 onwards.
It’s fair to say Chopra would be an outstanding signing for any club looking for a proven run machine who will no doubt act as a genuine bowling option in 2024.
