Rohit, who holds the record for the highest individual score in ODIs - 264 -- hailed the "wonderful game" after Mumbai kept alive their hopes of making it to the IPL play-offs.

"When we were batting, the ball was stopping, odd ball was gripping and turning, so we didn't know exactly what the par score was. Normally it's a 180 wicket, but this was a different wicket, a little slow. It was a very nerve-wracking game. It went to the last over but we held our nerves, and it was a wonderful game for the spectators," Rohit said. (Kieron Pollard's Over was More Crucial Than my Knock, Says Hardik Pandya)
