India vs Bangladesh: I dropped you - Rohit's reaction after Ali drops Rahul

The match between India and Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai is going through a tense phase, with both teams fighting neck and neck for the win. Initially expected to be an easy chase, India have struggled to find runs in the middle overs and lost a few quick wickets, keeping the match alive for Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh lost a golden opportunity to push India on the back foot after Jaker Ali dropped KL Rahul’s easy catch at square leg. The whole Bangladesh team was in shock after the dropped catch, but Indian skipper Rohit Sharma seemed in a jolly mood, realising the importance of the wicket.  Check Afghanistan vs South Africa live score, match updates and full scorecard here | Champions Trophy 2025

 

Moreover, Rohit’s reaction was even more notable given the fact that the Indian skipper had also dropped Jaker’s catch in the slips during Bangladesh’s innings. The batter was on zero when Rohit failed to hold on to the ball, which ultimately cost India the wicket and Axar his opportunity to claim a hat-trick. 

 

Jaker went on to score 68 runs, adding 154 runs for the sixth wicket with Towhid Hridoy (100) to help Bangladesh post a respectable total of 228 on the board. 

Bangladesh struggle with the bat 

After winning the toss and opting to bat, Bangladesh suffered an early collapse, losing Soumya Sarkar and Najmul Hasan Shanto for ducks in the first two overs. Mohammad Shami and Harshit Rana dominated, reducing Bangladesh to 35 for five. However, Towhid Hridoy (100) and Jaker Ali (68) stitched together a crucial 154-run partnership to steady the innings.

 

Shami, who claimed a five-wicket haul, dismissed Jaker Ali to complete 200 ODI wickets. Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 228.

 

Gill leads India's chase 

India started strongly, with Rohit Sharma (41) and Shubman Gill (101 not out) adding 69 runs for the first wicket. Despite losing Virat Kohli (22), Shreyas Iyer (15), and Axar Patel (8), Gill anchored the chase with KL Rahul (41 not out), guiding India to victory at 231 for four in 46.3 overs.

 

With this win, India move closer to the semi-finals, setting up a crucial clash against Pakistan.
