Meanwhile, Kambli has shared details about his current health issues. The former Indian batsman revealed that he had been dealing with a serious urinary problem, which was causing him significant discomfort. Last month, Kambli’s condition worsened, leading to his collapse.
Kambli’s son, Jesús Cristiano, was there to support him, along with his wife and daughter. Doctors later advised him to be hospitalized for treatment. Kambli also mentioned that he underwent two heart surgeries in 2013, during which Sachin Tendulkar provided him with financial help.
Vinod Kambli said in an interaction on Vicky Lalwani’s YouTube channel, “I was suffering from urine problem. It was just flowing. My son Jesus Christian lifted me up and put me back on my feet. My daughter who is 10 years old and my wife came to help me. This happened a month ago. My head began to spin; I collapsed and fell. The doctor told me to admit me.”
Kambli further said during the interaction, “I am ready to go to rehab. I want to go there because I’m not afraid of anything. My family is with me. Ajay Jadeja is a very good friend of mine. He came to meet me and said, ‘Come on, get up.’ A lot of people have called me lately. Everyone saw me. BCCI will definitely help. Abey Kuruvilla is with BCCI; “He is in contact with me and he is also in contact with my wife.”
Notably, Kambli played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India during his nine-year career. He scored four centuries in Test cricket, including two double centuries. Kambli was the first Indian to score consecutive double centuries in Test cricket.
