I have played a lot of cricket with him. It would be ideal for the boys to give him a fitting send-off,&rdquo; Kumble told the team&rsquo;s official website on Saturday. The leg-spinner is preparing the squad here for the competition. &ldquo;He has been a great contributor for Mumbai Indians all those years. Although he couldn&rsquo;t play in the last four-five games in the IPL 2013, but his contribution to the overall cause of the team has always been very important.&rdquo; Another reason that could affect the team&rsquo;s performance is that it would be together for last time before fresh auction is held. &ldquo;Emotions can&rsquo;t be brought into a game. It won&rsquo;t help a players&rsquo; performance. Emotions would obviously be there, but they have to be kept in check,&rdquo; added Kumble.
