**Dubai, UAE** – India captain Rohit Sharma will take teammate Axar Patel to dinner after a dropped catch prevented the spinner from achieving a hat-trick in India’s six-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy. Axar dismissed two batsmen in consecutive balls, but Rohit dropped a simple catch off the third, denying him a hat-trick. While acknowledging his disappointment, Rohit praised Axar’s performance and attributed the missed opportunity to a simple error.

Despite the dropped catch, and another missed opportunity, India managed to overcome a strong partnership between Jaker Ali (68) and Towhid Hridoy (100), who added 154 runs for the sixth wicket. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lauded Hridoy and Ali’s impressive batting performance under pressure.

India’s next match is against Pakistan on Sunday. Bangladesh faces New Zealand on Monday.
