Wed Dec 25 03:00:29 UTC 2024: ## Former Cricketer Vinod Kambli Stable After ICU Admission

**Thane, Maharashtra –** Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli is recovering after being admitted to the ICU of Akruti Hospital in Thane on Saturday with a severe urinary tract infection. While Kambli, 52, developed a fever on Tuesday, doctors report his condition is now stable.

According to Dr. Vivek Trivedi, head of Kambli’s medical team, the infection had led to pus buildup in his bladder, which was successfully removed upon admission. Initial examinations also revealed blood clots in his brain, necessitating an MRI. However, the MRI has been postponed due to the fever. Doctors expect Kambli to be moved out of the ICU within a day or two and discharged in about four days.

Kambli’s condition was described as critical four days ago, but his blood pressure has since stabilized. Dr. Trivedi stated that remaining at home would have worsened his condition.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his son, MP Shrikant Shinde, have offered significant support. Shrikant Shinde’s foundation has pledged Rs 5 lakh (approximately $60,000 USD) in financial assistance, and the Deputy Chief Minister’s office has sent a representative to ensure Kambli receives the best possible care. Kambli has expressed gratitude for their support and hopes to personally thank the Shindes soon.
