**Mumbai, India –** Concerns are mounting for former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli following a recent public appearance that highlighted his ongoing health struggles. Video footage from a memorial event for legendary coach Ramakant Achrekar shows Kambli appearing frail, clinging to his former teammate Sachin Tendulkar for support and unable to stand unaided.
This follows an earlier video showing Kambli struggling to walk. A close friend, former first-class umpire Marcus Couto, revealed to the Times of India that Kambli has entered rehab a staggering 14 times, battling severe and multiple health issues. Couto stated that despite repeated attempts, Kambli’s recovery has been hampered.
Support has been offered from cricketing legends. Kapil Dev has pledged financial assistance for Kambli’s rehabilitation, but only on the condition that Kambli himself commits to the treatment. Former Indian fast bowler Balwinder Singh Sandhu confirmed this offer, emphasizing that the financial support is unconditional regarding the treatment’s length, provided Kambli seeks help.
Kambli and Sachin Tendulkar were once touted as two of India’s most promising cricketing talents, famously sharing a 664-run partnership during their school days. While Tendulkar enjoyed a long and illustrious career, Kambli’s was cut short by disciplinary issues. Now, the cricketing community watches with concern as Kambli faces his most challenging match yet.
