The 1983 world champions promise to help Vinod Kambli
After Vinod Kambli’s recent health problems came to light at an event earlier this month, members of India’s 1983 World Cup winning team expressed their support. Even former Indian captains Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar both offered their help but put a condition on Kambli as the former batsman would have to undergo rehabilitation to get their support.
Meanwhile, Kambli has shared details about his ongoing health issues. The former Indian batsman stated that he suffered from a severe urinary problem which caused him a lot of trouble. Last month, Kambli’s condition worsened, leading to a collapse.
Kambli’s son Jesus Cristiano, along with his wife and daughter, were there to support him. Doctors later advised him to go to the hospital for treatment. Kambli also mentioned that he underwent two heart surgeries in 2013 during which Sachin Tendulkar gave him financial help.
Vinod Kambli, in an interaction on Vicky Lalwani’s YouTube channel, said, “I was suffering from a urine problem. It just flowed. My son Jesus Cristiano picked me up and got me back on my feet. My 10 year old daughter 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 get admitted.”
Kambli further said during the interaction, “I am ready for 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 me and said, “Come on, get up.” A lot of people have been calling me lately. Everyone saw me. BCCI will definitely help. Abey Kuruvilla is with BCCI; He’s in contact with me and he’s 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 became the first Indian to score two consecutive double centuries in Test cricket.
