After the agony of dropping Jaker Ali's catch at first slip, which denied Axar Patel a historic hat trick, Rohit Sharma was clearly overjoyed at seeing Jaker return the favour to the Indian team during the Men in Blue's innings during the India-Bangladesh 2025 Champions Trophy clash at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday (February 20).

With the India-Bangladesh clash heading for a tense ending, Bangladesh missed a golden chance to put pressure on the Indian team after Jaker dropped KL Rahul's catch in the 37th over of the innings. Rahul had made just nine runs after facing 19 balls at the time. When the incident happened, India had lost four wickets and still needed 63 runs to win with 13.4 overs remaining.

Indian captain Rohit's reaction to the incident from the dressing room went viral on social media as he appeared to gesture 'I dropped you' towards the Bangladesh batter.

The dropped catch proved costly for Bangladesh as India did not lose any wickets after that as they sealed a six-wicket win with 21 balls to spare. Rahul remained unbeaten on the crease with a solid knock of 41 runs in 47 balls despite the tricky pitch.

Earlier in the day, Jaker got a second life on the first ball of his innings as Rohit dropped his catch at first slip on what was a hat-trick delivery for Axar Patel. Jaker made the most of the chance with a knock of 68 in 114 balls, which helped Bangladesh post a total of 228 on the board. Jaker put up a record-breaking partnership of 154 runs with Towhid Hridoy, who made a century.

KL Rahul had also given Jaker a reprieve after missing a stumping from Ravindra Jadeja's bowling when the Bangladesh batter had made just 24 runs.
