Hi&nbsp;Zoheb!
&nbsp;
Google has many parameters in place to detect headless browsers, since these browsers are commonly used for malicious attacks. CAPTCHA is designed to literally prevent automated operation and there are not many sure fire workarounds.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Below is a good SO thread on how the detection process works and why this is happening.&nbsp;

I hope this helps to clear things up a little!
