It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma birthday on 30th April was quite an affair. Post winning the match with Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets, team MI was already on cloud nine and then it was the skipper’s birthday.

The celebrations begun on the bus itself when the team was leaving for their practice session. A while on the Internet shows, the team had a band inside the bus which played the tune of Happy Birthday for the skipper. This surprised Rohit Sharma and he could not stop himself from throwing up his hands in the air and breaking into a dance step.  Later in the evening, Rohit cut the cake in presence of his teammates and as the ritual goes, it was Ishan Kishan who smashed on Rohit’s face.

The official page of Mumbai Indians shared the celebration video on social media. The clip was captioned, “The MI family ensured that skipper @rohitsharma45 had a blast on his birthday! #HappyBirthdayRohit #CricketMeriJaan #MumbaiIndians.”

Post this, the team played against Royal Challengers Bangalore last night where they lost the match by 14 runs. Mumbai Indians is currently placed on number 7 of the IPL 2018 Points Table. Speaking about Mumbai's disappointing performance, the MI skipper said, "It is disappointing to be on the losing side. We got ourselves to blame though. Didn't play smart cricket, losing wickets in the powerplay didn't help. We wanted to keep ticking with the scoreboard. Credit to RCB, they bowled really well, it was a tough wicket and they kept us guessing." The team will play their next game against Kings XI Punjab on May 4, in Indore.
