Arman, the highest run getter with 1046 runs overall in the U-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy that Mumbai team wonu00a0recently, was unhappy at missing out on his triple ton."I was in good form at the Vijay Merchant trophy, so it wasn't difficult playing here. Unfortunately, as wickets kept falling at the other end, I couldn't score a triple century," said the 14-year-old.
