Agni Dev Chopra, son of filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, recently became the center of attention over claims he would play in the PSL. At 27, Agni was born in Detroit, USA, holds American citizenship, and has pursued professional cricket despite a film family background.
Speculations grew when a list of overseas players for the PSL 2026 auction included Agni as a US player. His celebrity lineage and the Pakistan connection made the story highly sensitive and newsworthy, quickly spreading online and drawing criticism.
Agni took to social media to clarify that the news was false. He stated clearly that he has no plans to participate in Pakistan’s T20 league and denied all speculations circulating about his involvement.
He emphasized that his full focus remains on international cricket, particularly representing the USA. Agni insisted that the circulated list was misleading and had caused unnecessary confusion.
His mother, Anupama Chopra, also shared his clarification publicly. Cricket is a sensitive topic for Indian audiences, and news like this can easily put individuals in the spotlight and affect their public image.
