Axar Patel reacted to Rohit Sharma's 'dinner' remark after the India captain dropped Jaker Ali's catch to deny star spinner hat-trick chance during Champions Trophy clash against Bangladesh

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.

The crowd at the Dubai International Stadium was abuzz with the prospect of a hat-trick and Axar Patel duly induced an edge from Jaker Ali, which flew to slip towards Rohit Sharma.

Following his side's win over Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy opener, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lauded batter Shubman Gill for his century and said in a lighter vein that he could take the youngster out for dinner.

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.

Rohit Sharma during the post-match presentation reflected upon Axar Patel's missed hat-trick and also revealed his plan to make up for it.
