Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli was recently seen in a disoriented state, sparking concern among fans and the cricketing community. A video circulating on social media shows the 52-year-old struggling to maintain his balance and being assisted by passersby. The authenticity of the video has not been independently verified by CricketNext.
Kambli, known for his flamboyant batting style and memorable partnerships with Sachin Tendulkar, has had a history of health issues. In 2013, he suffered a cardiac attack while driving in Mumbai and underwent angioplasty a year earlier to treat two blocked arteries.
The video has caused a wave of shock and concern on social media, with many fans expressing their support and wishing Kambli strength in his ongoing health battles.
Kambli’s cricketing career, while not as illustrious as Tendulkar’s, is still celebrated. He is remembered for his explosive batting and his ability to dismantle bowling attacks. Kambli played over 100 One Day Internationals (ODIs) for India and 17 Test matches, amassing nearly 10,000 runs in First-Class cricket with a highest score of 262. In List A cricket, he accumulated close to 6,500 runs, including an unbeaten 149.
Despite his struggles, Kambli’s contributions to Indian cricket and his exceptional talent continue to be fondly remembered by those who witnessed his peak years. Fans hope for his speedy recovery and continued well-being.
