Agni Chopra, son of famous Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has created history in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2024. The 25-year-old cricketer, who plays for Mizoram in domestic cricket, became the first player in first-class cricket history to score four consecutive centuries in their first four matches.
Agni made his debut against Sikkim in the Ranji Trophy 2024 (Plate), scoring 166 in the first inning and following up with 92. He has since scored four more hundred and currently averages 95.87 while striking the ball at an astoundingly high rate of 111.80.
