Vinod Kambli Reassures Fans of Well-being After Concerning Video
Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli has addressed concerns about his health after a video emerged showing him struggling to walk. In a new clip, Kambli asserts that he is “fit and fine” and doing well.
The latest video, reportedly from a meeting with Kambli’s schoolmate Ricky Couto and First Class Umpire Marcus Couto, shows Kambli in good spirits. He gives a thumbs-up sign and says, “I’m good. By the grace of God, I’m surviving. I’m fit and fine. I’m ready to bat at No. 3 (jokingly). I’ll hit the spinners outside the ground like we used to play at Shivaji Park!”
This video comes as a relief to Kambli’s well-wishers, who were concerned after a previous video showed him struggling to walk. In that clip, Kambli appeared disoriented and had difficulty maintaining his balance. Some speculated that he was intoxicated, while others suggested he was suffering from health issues.
Kambli’s schoolmate, Ricky Couto, who spent five hours with him, confirmed that Kambli was in good spirits and spoke to several other friends.
Kambli, a talented left-hander, played over 100 ODIs and 17 Test matches for India. He scored nearly 10,000 runs in First Class cricket, with a best individual score of 262.
