India captain Rohit Sharma plans to take teammate Axar Patel to dinner to make amends after denying the spinner a hat-trick in Thursday's Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh.

Rohit Sharma dropped an extremely easy catch in the ninth over that denied the first-ever hat-trick for Axar Patel in his career. It would've been only the second hat-trick in the history of ICC Champions Trophy but it wasn't to be as Rohit failed to latch on to an easy chance.

Team India all-rounder Axar Patel sent a cheeky message to skipper Rohit Sharma after the Men in Blue secured a commanding six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their opening match of the Champions Trophy 2025 on Thursday. In his post on X, the left-arm spinner wrote, "Wickets in the bag, win on the board… @ImRo45 Dinner pending hai."

The crowd at the Dubai International Stadium was abuzz with the prospect of a hat-trick and Axar Patel duly induced an edge from Jaker Ali, which flew to slip towards Rohit Sharma.
