Watch: A heartbreaking moment! Vinod Kambli struggles to walk as he battles ill health


Former India batsman Vinod Kambli is reportedly experiencing serious health issues. A video of the former batsman having difficulty walking has emerged, which has left cricket fans shocked and worried about his health.

In the video, Vinod Kambli can be seen struggling to stay on his feet, even as he leaned on a motorcycle parked on the side of a road. A couple of men immediately approached him and helped him reach his destination. Journalist Narendra Gupta shared the video of the heartbreaking moment on social media.

“Former cricketer Vinod Kambli is battling ill health. Vinod Kambli, a former Indian cricketer, has been open about his struggles with health issues and personal problems over the past few years.

“He has been hospitalized several times due to various health issues including heart problems and depression. I hope he recovers soon and gets the support he needs!” Gupta wrote.

This is not the first time Vinod Kambli has drawn attention for his health. In 2013, he had to be admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital after suffering a heart attack while driving from Chembur to Bandra. Earlier in 2012, he had undergone angioplasty on two of his blocked arteries.

Vinod Kambli’s career:

Vinod Kambli first rose to fame as a teenager and shared the famous world record of 664 runs with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar in a school match in 1988. Kambli was 17 at the time while Tendulkar was 16.

Three years later in 1991, Kambli made his debut in international cricket when he represented India in ODIs. Later in 1993, he also made his Test debut and announced his arrival by scoring two consecutive centuries against England in his third and fourth Tests. However, Kambli could not live up to the initial expectations.

In total, he played 104 ODIs and just 17 Tests for India. In ODIs, he scored 2477 runs with the help of two centuries and 14 fifties. In Tests, he scored over 1000 runs including four centuries and three half-centuries.
