Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma pulled renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle's leg during their epic conversation. This came after Harsha wished Rohit well on his birthday.

Three consecutive sixes from Tim David off the first three deliveries of the final over helped five-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians (MI) chase down 212-run target in 19.3 overs to hand their captain Rohit Sharma a lovely birthday present on his 36th birthday on Sunday (April 30). During the post-match presentation, an overjoyed Rohit Sharma pulled renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle's leg during their epic conversation. This came after Harsha wished Rohit well on his birthday.

Read below the funny conversation between Rohit Sharma and Harsha Bhogle...

Harsha Bhogle said: "Everything happened today. 150th game as captain, 190th for MI, 36th birthday, and like it happened last year."

Rohit Sharma replied: "35th not 36th"

Bhogle interrupted: "Ah, they gave me one more. Good correction."

Rohit reacted: "No, no, 36th (chuckles)."

Though Mumbai Indians won the match, the occasion could have been more special had Rohit Sharma (3 runs off 5 balls) delivered with the bat.

Speaking on the post-match show about Mumbai's estatic win over Rajasthan, Rohit said: "Very pleasing to see how we chased this. The last game here also came close to a similar target. We have the ability but need to back ourselves. (On David being next Pollard) Big shoes to fill, Polly for so many years won us so many championships. But Tim has so much ability and power. In the back end, having that power keeps the bowler thinking."

Rohit Sharma also credited Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal for his maiden ton in the IPL. The 24-year-old talented youngster scored 124 off 62 balls, laced up with 16 fours and eight sixes, at a strike rate of 200.

"(On Jaiswal) I watched him last year, this year he has taken his game to a new level. I asked him where all that power is coming from. He says he is spending time at the gym, he's timing them really well. Good for him, good for Indian cricket, and good for RR as well," Rohit said.
