I may take him (Axar) for dinner tomorrow,” said India captain Rohit Sharma after his drop catch cost a Champions Trophy hat-trick for Axar Patel.

While dropped catches happen in cricket, this time it was special as Rohit's dropped chance meant that Axar Patel was denied a hat-trick

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. Left-arm spinner Axar struck in his first over dismissing Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim with successive deliveries with wicketkeeper KL Rahul taking both the catches.

Wasim Akram recalled an instance when his former captain put down a catch to deny the legendary pacer a hat-trick, similar to how Rohit Sharma messed up the chance off Axar Patel's bowling during the India vs Bangladesh Champions Trophy match in Dubai on Thursday.

Had Rohit Sharma taken the catch of Jaker Ali, Axar Patel would have become the second cricketer to take a hattrick in the history of ICC Champions Trophy.
