Still, the pain lingered. Watching cricket felt like betrayal.
But not watching him?
Impossible.
My chain of thoughts was broken by the sudden cheer throughout that stadium.
Ball by Ball - Arjun at 94*
The bowler switched ends. The field tightened.
One dot ball.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Kya kar raha hai Arjun?
Arjun stay calm....
Tu kar legaaa.... Tu kar sakta hai.... Tu karegaaa!
He wiped his face.
The heat was merciless.
Why is he staring at the pitch?

Arjun's POV-
I stared at the pitch below. As memories resurfaced...
Flashback (Arjun- age 10)
I, barefoot, in a narrow Kanpur alley.
A plastic bat. Rusted stumps made from bricks.
And papa... Papa clapping from the doorway.
"You'll play for India one day," papa said.
I remembered I had laughed.
"Not unless I hit a hundred first."
Flashback ends....
I was close. VERY VERY CLOSE.
This felt surreal. It felt like all what was happening wasn't real.
Ball 5 - Full Toss.
I swung my bat.
WHACKK!!
The ball soared over mid-wicket.
Six.
The crowd?
The crowd went wild.
I did it papa.... I did it...
100. My first ever century.*
