Ton and double ton in a single Test! Agni Dev, son of Vidhu Vinod and Anupama, creates history!

Agni Dev Chopra, son of Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Indian author journalist Anupama Chopra, has etched his name in the history of the Ranji Trophy by achieving a remarkable feat. Playing for Mizoram, the talented cricketer scored a century in the first innings and a double century in the second innings against Arunachal Pradesh, becoming the first player in domestic cricket to accomplish this extraordinary achievement in a single match.

During the 2024-25 season of the Ranji Trophy, Chopra accumulated an impressive total of 348 runs across four innings. In the first innings against Arunachal, he scored 110 runs, followed by a stunning 238 runs in the second innings. This exceptional performance not only secured a record for Chopra but also contributed to Mizoram’s massive 267-run victory in the match.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra, known for his recent hit film "12th Fail," has also directed notable works such as "1942: A Love Story" (1994) and "Mission Kashmir" (2000). Agnidev's success marks an important milestone, highlighting the growing talent emerging from Indian domestic cricket.
