India captain Rohit Sharma plans to take teammate Axar Patel to dinner to make amends after denying the spinner a hat-trick in Thursday's Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh. Left-arm spinner Axar struck in his first over dismissing Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim with successive deliveries with wicketkeeper KL Rahul taking both the catches.

Had Rohit Sharma taken the catch of Jaker Ali, Axar Patel would have become the second cricketer to take a hattrick in the history of ICC Champions Trophy.

Rohit Sharma during the post-match presentation reflected upon Axar Patel's missed hat-trick and also revealed his plan to make up for it.

India kicked off their Champions Trophy campaign with a six-wicket victory against Bangladesh in a Group A match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Electing to bat, Bangladesh slumped to 35-5 but went on to post 228 all out riding Towhid Hridoy's heroic 100 while battling cramps.

India has refused to play its Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan, which is hosting its first major global tournament in almost 30 years.

Pakistan is hosting its first major cricket event since 1996, but a feud with India has compromised a tournament that is now also being played in Dubai.
