Kambli's Health Battles: A Year On, Still Fighting
16 Apr
Summary
- Vinod Kambli has a brain clot affecting his memory since his hospitalization.
- Doctors strictly forbid smoking due to high risk of a brain stroke.
- Kambli recently acted in an advert and his son is pursuing cricket.

Vinod Kambli, the former Indian cricketer, continues to grapple with health concerns approximately 18 months after his hospitalization. A significant challenge he faces is a brain clot, which has led to memory issues, causing him to recall and then forget events.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Aadil Chagla, monitoring Kambli's treatment, has strictly forbidden smoking. This measure is crucial as smoking poses a substantial risk of a brain stroke for the former batsman.
Despite these ongoing health battles, there have been encouraging developments. Kambli recently participated in an advertisement for Dinshaw's ice-cream, marking a return to acting after a considerable period. He has also been observed using a walking stick.
Encouragingly, Kambli's son, Cristiano, aspires to become a cricketer. Arrangements are being made to enroll him in a cricket academy, with assistance from Jatin Paranjape.
