A match with a difference: A big hit

Ankita’s confidence soars, as she smashes one ball after another. Will this streak continue?

Ankita picks up the nuances of cricket well but doesn’t make it to the school team. She is seething when Vinod challenges her.

“We can have a match between two teams — Avengers and Badshahs — comprising both girls and boys from the two sections of Std. VII and VIII,” Ankita said.

Vinod thought about it and said, “I can’t believe such an innovative idea came from someone like you. I am game. I’ll talk to the girls and you talk to the boys.” As he walked away, Vinod sniggered, “Since we’ll be pitted against each other, I’ll have loads of fun at your expense.”
