Rohit Sharma turned a year older on April 30, 2023, as he celebrated his 36th birthday in style with his team Mumbai Indians as they pulled off a sensational victory against Rajasthan Royals in the iconic 1000th game in the history of the IPL at the Wankhede Stadium.
After Mumbai Indians’ stellar win against Rajasthan, Rohit Sharma indulged in a hilarious banter with veteran presenter Harsha Bhogle regarding his birthday, which left everyone in splits.
Rohit Sharma Tried To Fool Harsha Bhogle
During the post-match presentation ceremony, the winning captain Rohit Sharma spoke with Harsha Bhogle, the latter congratulated him for a sensational win on his special day. Cutting Harsha in between, Rohit told Bhogle that it was his 35th birthday and not his 36th. However, after Bhogle was left confused, Rohit cleared that hat it was indeed his 36th birthday, indicating he was only joking with the commentator.
Here’s how the conversation between Harsha Bhogle and Rohit Sharma went:
Harsha Bhogle – Win on your 36th birthday.
Rohit Sharma- It’s the 35th, not the 36th.
Harsha -Oh, they gave me one more.
Rohit – No, it’s 36th only. I was joking
The video of the same has been going viral on the internet. You can watch it here:
Harsha Bhogle – Win on your 36th birthday.
Rohit Sharma – It's the 35th, not the 36th.
Harsha – Oh, they gave me one more.
Rohit – No, it's 36th only. I was joking

Talking about the game, Rajasthan Royals posted a massive total of 212/7 runs on the scoreboard, riding on the blistering knock of Yashasvi Jaiswal(124), who became the fourth youngest batter to register an IPL century.
However, Jaiswal’s efforts went in vain as Suryakumar Yadav bounced back to his form and scored a 29-ball 55 runs. Earlier, Cameron Green started the momentum going for Mumbai Indians as he played a crucial knock of 26-ball 44. But it was Tim David who smashed his way to help MI achieve the target, with a 14-ball 45.
