Rohit Sharma Drops Axar Patel’s Hat-Trick Catch, Reacts with Frustration

Indian captain Rohit Sharma shocked fans by missing a key catch. This catch might have helped Axar Patel get his hat-trick in the 2025 Champions Trophy match vs. Bangladesh.

In the 9th over, Axar Patel bowled a well-placed off-break outside off. This tempted Jaker Ali to play a defensive shot. The ball took a thick outside edge and flew directly to Rohit Sharma at first slip.

Rohit had both hands on the ball and seemed ready to make the catch. But then, he dropped it. This mistake cost Axar a historic moment.

Axar, though visibly disappointed, responded with a wry smile, acknowledging the lost opportunity.

India missed a chance for early control. Now, they will try to regain momentum in the Champions Trophy 2025 showdown.
