Parshavi Chopra Biography

Parshavi Chopra is an Indian bowling all‑rounder from Sikandrabad, Uttar Pradesh. A leg‑spin bowler and right‑hand batter, she rose through Uttar Pradesh’s

Early life and background

Parshavi Gaurav Chopra was born on 10 May 2006 in Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh. Raised in a family that follows cricket closely, she grew up surrounded by the sport: her grandfather played at the zonal level while her father and uncle have been involved in club cricket. Parshavi attended school run by her uncle Ram Chopra in their hometown and, as of 2023, was studying in Class 9.

She began her sporting journey initially as a skater, winning a silver medal in the Under‑14 Uttar Pradesh Skating Championships, before turning her full attention to cricket. Her parents enrolled her at local academies including Youngstar Cricket Academy and the Yuvraj Singh Center of Excellence to develop her game.

Career

Parshavi started playing cricket with neighborhood boys when she was about ten. Early on she bowled right‑arm medium pace, but later converted to leg‑spin after idolizing Shane Warne. She bats right‑handed and is described as a bowling all‑rounder.

Representing Uttar Pradesh across age groups, Parshavi played for the state in Under‑16 and Under‑19 competitions. After an initial setback at age 12 when she was ruled too young for selection, she earned a place in the UP Under‑16 side the following year and was named best bowler on a tour to Chhattisgarh. She had notable domestic success in age‑group competitions: in the BCCI Under‑16 One Day Tournament (2018–19) she claimed 17 wickets, and in the BCCI Under‑19 One Day Trophy (2019–20) she took 21 wickets, finishing as the second‑highest wicket‑taker that season.

Her performances led to selection for the National Cricket Academy and for India A in the Women’s Quadrangular Under‑19 T20 Series in 2022, where India A beat India B in the final. Parshavi made her international debut for the India Women’s Under‑19 side in a five‑match T20 series against New Zealand at the MCA Bandra Kurla Complex Ground in Mumbai; India won all matches in that series. During her Under‑19 career she produced standout performances, including a national record performance against Baroda in which she bowled six maiden overs and took three wickets.

At the 2023 ICC Under‑19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, Parshavi was part of India’s title‑winning squad. She contributed across matches — taking three wickets against New Zealand and registering a four‑wicket haul versus Sri Lanka that earned her Player of the Match honours. By the end of the tournament she was the second‑highest wicket‑taker with 11 wickets as India beat England in the final to win the trophy.

In the same year she entered the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction and was acquired by UP Warriorz for a reported sum of Rs 10 Lakh.

Playing style and influences

Parshavi bowls legbreak and is known for using variations such as the googly. She bats right‑handed and contributes as a bowling all‑rounder. Her switch from medium pace to leg‑spin was influenced by her admiration for Shane Warne.

Public profile

Parshavi’s background features a strong family support system; she has credited her father, Gaurav Chopra, with structured support from an early age and said she was fulfilling a family dream of playing for India. Her mother is Sheetal Chopra. She has a younger brother, Raghav Chopra, who also plays cricket for Uttar Pradesh under‑16 teams.

Outside cricket she follows a vegetarian diet and enjoys listening to music, swimming, skating, and a range of racquet and ball sports including basketball, lawn tennis, table tennis and badminton. Her favourite film choices include M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and Shabaash Mithu, and she prefers kadhi chawal as a favourite dish.
