Rohit Sharma dropped a sitter during India's Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh in Dubai.
India captain Rohit Sharma was seemingly furious with himself after he dropped a sitter during his team’s Champions Trophy 2025 match against Bangladesh in Dubai on Thursday.
Axar Patel was the bowler bowling the ninth over of the match to Jaker Ali who was o strike. Ali broght himself forward to block, but eventually got a thick outside edge that flew towards Rohit at first slip. It looked like a regulation catch, but Rohit put the catch down and vented his frustration by slapping the ground.
Axar was on a hat-trick in that over as Bangladesh were 35/5 in 8.3 overs after the dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim.
