Vinod Kambli Breaks Silence On Health Struggles, Financial Hardships
Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli is gathering all the spotlight due to his poor health. He has been facing a lot of struggles due to his deteriorating health and financial conditions. Recently Kambli attended a function honoring late Ramakant Achrekar, who coached him and Sachin Tendulkar at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. After that event, he made headlines about two weeks back when his videos and pictures went viral, where he was seen struggling in doing the normal things.
The 52-year-old opened up on the struggles he has been facing over a long period of time due to his health. He is doing better now but was going through a lot a month back. He revealed that he is battling with a urine infection, but in his difficult times, his wife and kids stood with him and helped him get back to his feet. His head starts to spin, and he used to collapse and fall down, and then the doctor advised him to get admitted. He also mentioned Ajay Jadeja coming and meeting him, which made him feel nice.
“I am better now. My wife takes care of me a lot. She took me to 3 different hospitals and told me, ‘You have to get fit.’ Ajay Jadeja came to visit me. It felt nice. I was suffering from a urine problem. It was just flowing. My son, Jesus Cristiano, picked me up and brought me back to my feet. My daughter, who is 10 years old, and my wife came to help me. This happened one month ago. My head started spinning; I collapsed and fell down. The doctor told me to get admitted.”
Further he recalled about his old cricket days when he scored a double hundred at the Wankhede and said he cherished that time the most. He also told that they used to win a lot at that time.
“The double hundred that I scored at Wankhede, I will cherish it the most. I had Achrekar sir with me, and our teammates… what a team that was. We had Anil Kumble, Rajesh Chauhan, and Venketesh Prasad. We used to win a lot. Against Sri Lanka, we used to have some wonderful battles. I used to tell him, ‘Murali, haath to seedha kar (Get your arms straight). He then used to reply in his native language.”
