Rohit Misses Catch, Axar Patel’s Hat-Trick Slips Away – Watch the Video!

In the ongoing Champions Trophy match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai, the Indian bowlers dominated early on, restricting Bangladesh to just two runs for the loss of two wickets in the first two overs. Mohammed Shami and Rana took wickets in their opening overs, putting Bangladesh under immediate pressure.

Spinner Axar Patel bowled the ninth over of the innings. On his second delivery, he dismissed opener Tanzid Hasan (25). On the very next ball, he sent Mushfiqur Rahim (0) back to the pavilion, setting himself up for a potential hat-trick. Facing the crucial fourth delivery, new batter Jaker Ali edged the ball towards the slip cordon.

The ball landed in the hands of Rohit Sharma, who initially seemed to have taken the catch. However, at the last moment, the ball slipped from his grasp, denying Axar Patel his hat-trick. Following the missed opportunity, Rohit apologized to Axar for the error.

India’s fielding continued to falter, allowing Bangladesh to recover from 39/5 to 189/5. Batters Towhid Hridoy (85) and Jaker Ali (68) built a formidable sixth-wicket partnership of 154 runs. At present, Towhid Hridoy (86*) and Rishad Hossain (0*) are at the crease, with Bangladesh’s score at 192/6 in 44 overs.
