Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli was hospitalized on Saturday, December 21, after his health condition worsened. He is currently receiving treatment at Akriti Hospital in Thane, Maharashtra. According to India Today, while Kambli's condition stabilized by Monday, he remains under close observation in critical care.
According to a report, Kambli's condition is stable, but the 52-year-old isn't completely out of danger yet. "The 52-year-old's condition is currently stable, though still critical. Further details about his ailment are awaited."
A recent video that went viral shows Vinod Kambli emotionally holding onto the arm of his Mumbai teammate and fellow cricket prodigy Sachin Tendulkar during a memorial event for their childhood coach, Ramakant Achrekar, refusing to let go.
“I’m ready to go for rehab. I want to go there because I don’t fear anything. My family is with me," Kambli shared in an interview with Vickey Lalwani on YouTube afterward.
He also admitted that he has left alcohol and smoking in the last six months.
“No, no. I had stopped drinking and smoking six months ago. Did it for the sake of my kids. I used to do it earlier, but I’ve left it behind now," said Kambli.
Kambli, who represented India in 17 Tests and 104 ODIs, also played 129 First-Class matches for Mumbai. Since retiring from cricket, he has faced ongoing health challenges, further exacerbated by financial difficulties.
