Agni Chopra Joins Mumbai Indians in MLC 2025
With an average of 94.94 in First-Class cricket, Agni Chopra is set to bring his exceptional skills to the MLC, providing fans with a unique opportunity to witness his talent in action. As he begins his journey with MI New York, Agni is focused on making the most of this opportunity and taking his cricketing career to new heights.
Agni Chopra, the 25-year-old son of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, has been picked by MI New York for $50,000 in the Major League Cricket 2025, marking a significant milestone in his cricketing career. Born to a Bollywood family, Agni chose to pursue cricket over a potential career in the film industry, and his dedication has paid off with his selection in the prestigious league.
Agni's journey to the MLC has been marked by perseverance and determination. Despite facing rejection from the Ranji team and an injury, he went on to play for Mizoram, where he scored four centuries in his first four First-Class games and finished the season with 939 runs. His impressive performance earned him an average of 94.94 in 11 First-Class matches, drawing comparisons to the legendary Sir Donald Bradman.
However, a rule limiting participation to Indian passport holders led Agni to shift his focus to the US, where he sees a fresh start and a chance to compete against top-tier talent. The MI New York team, led by Nicholas Pooran, will provide Agni with the perfect platform to showcase his skills and make his T20 league debut. With players like Naveen-ul-Haq and Michael Bracewell in the team, Agni is poised to learn from the best and take his game to the next level.
As Agni prepares to make his debut for MI New York, he is aware of the challenges that lie ahead. But with his impressive track record and the support of his team, he is confident of making a significant impact in the MLC. With his selection in the league, Agni has proven that with hard work and determination, anything is possible, and he is an inspiration to young cricketers everywhere.
