The frustration was vivid when Rohit Sharma slammed the field, and why not? It was Axar Patel's hattrick ball. Had the catch been taken, he would have registered his name as the only Indian spinner to get a hattrick in the Champions Trophy, but alas! It was a no doubt easy catch, but Ro simply got his brain faded and dropped it. However, a guilty captain as well as a teammate is looking to plan for a dinner with Axar Patel. On February 20, in the post-match conference, Rohit Sharma said, “I may take him for a dinner tomorrow. That was an easy catch, I should have taken that catch, the standards I have set standing in the slips but these things happen.” Even the team was shocked by the dropped catch. Virat Kohli, who had already started the celebration, stopped midway, startled. KL stood still with his hands on his head, totally shocked! The man to whom Ro gifted a life was Jaker Ali, who stabilized the trembling Bangladesh with a solid partnership of 154 runs with the centurian Hridoy. Jaker himself scored 68 runs off 114 balls, rained four fours until Mohammed Shami ended his innings. It was Zakir and Hridoy who helped bangladesh mount 228 runs on board in the first innings.

His miss proved costly as Rahul, given a second life, made sure Bangladesh paid the price. Chasing 229, India found themselves in a tricky position, but Rahul (41*) and Shubman Gill steadied the ship. Zakir’s missed opportunity allowed Rahul to anchor the innings, guiding Gill as he crafted a brilliant century. The duo stitched an unbeaten 87-run stand, ensuring India crossed the finish line with ease. Gill remained unbeaten on 101 off 129 balls, decorated with nine boundaries and two sixes, as India secured victory with 21 balls to spare. Axar Patel, despite a quiet outing with the bat, made an impact with the ball, finishing with 2/43. India will now gear up for a high-voltage clash against Pakistan on February 23 in Dubai.
