Media Release Aakash Chopra was one of the best opening batsmen produced by the country. He had a long and illustrious first - class career, and was part of Delhi and Rajasthan teams that won the Ranji Trophy. He was a key member of the Indian team that created history in 2003-04 by winning a Test series in Pakistan. On behalf of the BCCI, I would like to congratulate him on a memorable innings and wish him all the best for his future. Sanjay Patel Hon. Secretary BCCI
