A Century Machine, a Run-Scoring Sensation: The Player Who Showed His Class in Just 10 Matches Has Entered His Name in the IPL 2025 Auction. Despite having a famous film director as his father, this player chose cricket solely because it is his passion. But it’s not just about passion—he also possesses an exceptional understanding and skill for the game. Scoring 8 centuries in just 10 matches is no easy feat at any level of cricket, yet Agni Chopra, son of director Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has done exactly that, living up to his name.
8 Centuries in 10 Matches Speak Volumes!
Although Agni Chopra’s centuries were not scored in white-ball cricket like the format played in the IPL, his talent and potential are undeniable. He has achieved this remarkable feat in red-ball cricket, scoring 1,658 runs with an average of 92.11, including 8 centuries in 10 first-class matches.
Base Price Set at 30 Lakhs in the Auction
The 26-year-old Agni Chopra has entered his name in the IPL 2025 auction, among 1,574 players listed. With a strong first-class debut marked by centuries, he has set his base price at 30 lakh rupees. If he is picked up, it will be his first appearance in the IPL.
Friend’s Team Might Not Let Him Go!
The question now is, who will bid for Agni Chopra? The strongest possibility is Gujarat Titans, as their captain Shubman Gill is a close friend of Agni. Recently, Shubman attended Agni’s 26th birthday party with his sister, showing their strong bond.
Other Teams Could Be Interested Too!
Agni Chopra is a solid middle-order batsman, which makes him appealing to not just his friend’s team but to others as well. His relatively low base price may attract more teams to take an interest in him.
Agni Chopra’s father, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is a renowned film director known for movies like 12th Fail and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., while his mother is a film critic.
