Agni Chopra from Mi New York (photo Ron Gaunt / Sportzpics for MLC) The name Agni Chopry is suddenly everywhere in the cricket Major League (MLC) 2025, but his story is as unique as his name. Many know him as the son of the famous filmmaker Bollywood Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the popular film critic of Anupam Chopra. But Agni never wanted the reflector of the movies when he chose cricket instead. This year Agni’s big break came in the middle of the air! On February 19, Air India from San Francisco joined Bombai. While he was flying without Wi-Fi, there was a MLC proposal. He landed seventeen long hours later, turned on the phone and saw the message from his mother – Mi New York chose it for $ 50,000! For a boy who grew up with the support of the Indians in Mumbai, it was like a dream come true. But Agni’s journey was not easy. When he was only six, he started playing cricket in Shivaji Park in Mumbai. While many thought that being from the film family would help, it actually made it difficult. Other players and some coaches thought he was just another wealthy boy who would follow the cricket.
