Sachin Tendulkar turning 40, Mumbai Indians are keen to celebrate the occasion by posting a win over Kolkata Knight Riders, which Mumbai Indians team mentor Anil Kumble said would be the perfect birthday for the senior batsman.
Paying glowing tribute to Tendulkar, the 42-year-old former India leg-spinner said, “I welcome him to the club. He has had a fantastic career and has come a long way. I wish him more and more success in the remaining days to come”.
Asked about his stint in the big-hitting T20 format, Kumble said, “Heart gets a lot of strain as watching IPL is more stressful”.
Kumble was addressing a gathering of 100 under privileged children who were given free kits and clothing. The kids would also be getting free coaching in an initiative by former India opener Devang Gandhi.
Kumble, who is a qualified engineer, also made the kids realise the importance of education and said, “Education and cricket go hand in hand. You should never compromise on education. By being good students, you would be able to face challenges in life and in cricket. I urge the parents to stress on this aspect. You should lead a disciplined life”.
