In a significant development around Ranji Trophy 2024, renowned filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's son Agni Chopra has scripted history as he became the first player in domestic cricket to score a century and double century in a single match. 

Agni, who represents Mizoram in domestic cricket,  scored 110 off 138 in the first innings and followed that with a 238 off 209 against Arunachal Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 Plate division to script this feat.

Agni Chopra opened up on his decision to opt for cricket rather than going into movies, similar to his father and mother, and remarked that movie-making was never his passion. 

“So I have been asked this question from childhood that will you go into movies, but I never thought I would ever be in movies. I never thought that, ‘oh, I should get in because my dad makes movies, and it will be an easy avenue for me’. I was never interested in movies. I mean I love watching movies and having a great time, but it was never my passion,” Agni told news agency PTI in an interview.
