A comical moment: Rohit Sharma dropped Axar Patel's hat-trick ball, sparking a meme storm.

The India vs. Bangladesh match in the 2025 Champions Trophy featured an unexpected twist. At the Dubai stadium, Axar Patel was on the verge of a hat-trick after dismissing Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim in consecutive deliveries. However, the third ball, edged by Jaker Ali straight towards Rohit Sharma, didn’t make history. India’s captain shockingly dropped the easy catch, denying Axar his hat-trick.

Rohit visibly showed his frustration, while commentators urged him to refocus. Social media erupted with jokes — some suggested Axar use WWE moves on Rohit, while others praised Rohit’s self-criticism as commendable.

Despite the incident, the Indian captain continued playing and apologized to Patel. This moment added a humorous chapter to the 2025 Champions Trophy.
