Chapter 55: New System Mission
That night—
after the Rohit Sharma comment chaos finally calmed down—
Sahil went alone to the terrace again.
Phone still buzzing constantly.
Followers increasing every few seconds.
New reels everywhere.
---
But strangely—
his focus kept returning toward cricket itself.
Not fame.
Growth.
---
The system activated automatically.
Bright blue interface spreading across his vision.
Far more detailed than before.

The challenge sounded insane.
And honestly—
that made him want it even more.
