Apologized in the live match, had to fold hands in front of everyone, what happened to captain Rohit Sharma?
Team India and its fans expect a strong performance from Indian captain Rohit Sharma in the Champions Trophy 2025. If big innings come out of Rohit's bat, then Team India will be a contender for the title. But Rohit will have to do wonders not only with batting but also with his captaincy. But the start of the Champions Trophy was disappointing for Rohit and the reason for this was neither his batting nor his captaincy, but Rohit was disappointed by his fielding, due to which he had to fold his hands in front of everyone in the middle of the field.
During the fielding of Team India in the first match of Champions Trophy against Bangladesh, Rohit Sharma made such a mistake due to which he started cursing himself and then started apologizing with folded hands in front of everyone. All this happened in the 9th over of Bangladesh's innings when Akshar Patel was bowling. Akshar took 2 wickets in 2 consecutive balls in this over and put Team India in a strong position.
I dropped the catch and had to apologize
But when it came to taking a hat-trick, captain Rohit's mistake ruined all the hard work. Rohit had missed a simple catch of Zakir Ali on Akshar's hat-trick ball. Due to this, Akshar Patel missed becoming only the second and first Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in the Champions Trophy. Rohit also immediately realized his mistake and expressed his anger by banging his hands on the ground loudly.

Even after expressing his anger, Rohit's disappointment did not go away and he was seen cursing himself. Then after the over was over, he went straight to Akshar and with folded hands apologized to the Indian bowler for his mistake. Akshar Patel also accepted his captain's apology and both of them moved forward.
Team India missed more opportunities
However, Rohit was not the only Indian fielder who dropped a catch or missed a chance to take a wicket in this match. After Rohit, the team's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya also made this mistake. Shortly after, he dropped the catch of Tauheed Hridoy on Kuldeep Yadav's ball. This catch was also very easy. At the same time, Zakir Ali got another lease of life when KL Rahul missed a stumping chance on the very first ball of Ravindra Jadeja.
