Mini bio
How it started.
Chopra learned his cricket at Delhi’s Sonnet Club under Tarak Sinha, where technique came first. He reached India’s Test side in 2003 and played ten Tests across 2003 and 2004.
Finding his voice.
Writing columns while still playing led him towards broadcasting. A move to Mumbai for Star Power in 2013 opened the door to Hindi commentary. In February 2018, he began Aakashvani with short recordings made alongside his television work.
The game beyond the scorecard.
His books explore domestic cricket and the thinking behind the game. Beyond the Blues follows his 2007–08 season; Out of the Blue tells Rajasthan’s Ranji Trophy story. He also contributed Hindi commentary to World Cricket Championship 3.
