Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, 52, has been diagnosed with brain clots after undergoing medical tests. He was hospitalized on December 21 at Akriti Hospital in Kalher, Bhiwandi, Maharashtra, after experiencing health issues. Dr. Vivek Trivedi, who is treating Kambli, shared that he initially complained of a urinary infection and cramps. However, further tests revealed the presence of brain clots. His condition is being closely monitored, with additional tests planned for Tuesday.

As a thoughtful gesture, hospital in-charge S. Singh has extended an offer of lifelong free treatment to Kambli at their facility.

Kambli has faced numerous challenges over the years, including health problems and financial struggles. A key player in the 1996 World Cup team, he suffered two heart attacks in 2013 and has battled addiction. Earlier this year, he also dealt with a severe urinary infection. Despite rumors about his friendship with Sachin Tendulkar, Kambli expressed gratitude for Tendulkar’s financial support.

Kambli recently attended a memorial event for his childhood coach, Ramakant Achrekar, where he appeared weak and emotional, sharing a touching moment with Tendulkar.

Kambli remains a beloved figure in Indian cricket. Legendary players like Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev have offered their support, while Kambli has shown interest in joining rehabilitation programs to improve his health.

Fans and the cricket community are rallying behind him, wishing him a speedy recovery. Doctors are hopeful about his condition and continue to keep him under observation.
