You have heard that dialogue from the film 'Manjhi - The Mountain Man'. Will not leave until we break. The story of the batsman who scored non-stop centuries is also similar. He does not leave the bowlers until he makes them helpless. And, while doing so, he scores century after century. In his short career, he is scoring centuries match after match as if it is his hobby. Batsman Agni Chopra, who has made scoring centuries his habit, now faces Arjun Tendulkar.
The clash between Agni Chopra and Arjun Tendulkar is on the Ranji Trophy pitch. The match between Mizoram and Goa is going on in Ranji Trophy, in which both these players are playing. Agni Chopra is a part of Mizoram team while Arjun Tendulkar is playing for Goa team. The big thing is that both these players are sons of two well-known personalities of the country. Agni Chopra's father is Bollywood director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Whereas Arjun is the son of Sachin Tendulkar.
Agni Chopra, who is playing the 10th match of his first class cricket career, is an expert in scoring centuries. In the 9 matches played before the match against Goa, he has scored runs at an average of 99.06, out of which he has scored 8 centuries. Now the story of 8 triple figure scores in the first 9 matches of Agni Chopra's bat is also unique. Out of this, he scored 5 consecutive centuries in the first 5 Ranji matches. After that he could not do anything in the sixth match. But after that he continues to score centuries in the last 3 matches.
The big challenge before Arjun Tendulkar is how will he stop the batsman who has an average of 99.06 and has scored non-stop centuries? How will you bowl in front of him? Arjun has played more Ranji matches than Agni Chopra. Before playing the match with Mizoram, Arjun Tendulkar has also played 15 first class matches, in which he has taken 30 wickets.
This is perhaps the first time that Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Sachin Tendulkar's son are face to face on the cricket pitch. It remains to be seen whether Agni scores another century or Arjun's balls hit his wicket. However, it will not be easy to bowl to a batsman with an average of 99.06.
