New Delhi. Akshar Patel, who has become the golden arm of Team India, was kept taking a hat-trick in the Champions Trophy. Akshar Patel dismissed 2 Bangladesh batters on consecutive balls. His third consecutive ball would have got a wicket even if Rohit Sharma had not dripped it. With this, Akshar Patel missed out on becoming the fifth Indian to take a hat -trick.
Rohit Sharma dripped a catch like Jaker Ali’s Laddu. This is rarely seen on the slip, but Rohit could not catch it. After Bangladesh’s innings ended, Akshar Patel spoke on it. He said, ‘As soon as the catch went to Rohit, I was convinced of a hat -trick. I was about to celebrate the celebration that I saw… and then turned back.
Akshar Patel may be disappointed at missing a hat -trick but not angry. He said that this is part of the game. There is no need to think much about it. Akshar Patel took 2 wickets for 43 runs in his 9 overs.
