New Delhi: Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli struggled to walk and was helped by his wife Andrea Hewitt during the 50th-anniversary celebrations at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, January 19. Kambli has been continuously grabbing the spotlight of late with his health struggles amid concerns over his wee being.
The former India batter was recently discharged from a hospital after getting treated for multiple issues from a urinary infection to brain clotting. Kambli was admitted after complaining of muscle cramps due to a urinary infection as his health deteriorated. He was diagnosed with brain clots during treatment and it was also revealed that the ex-cricketer is facing memory loss.
However, he managed to recover well and was seen dancing with the hospital staff before being discharged. On Sunday, Kambli appeared to be struggling to walk again as his wife assisted him in walking by holding his hands during the event at the Wankhede Stadium. Kambli attended the event with his wife Andrea and his son.

Speaking at the event, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma promised to bring the trophy back to Wankhede by winning the Champions Trophy 2025 which gets underway on February 20.
Rohit said one of his best memories at the Wankhede Stadium was to bring the T20 World Cup trophy to the venus after winning it last year and that he hopes to do the same with the Champions Trophy this year.
“I am sure when we reach Dubai the wishes of 140 crore people will be with us. We will try to win it and bring the (ICC Champions Trophy) back here at the Wankhede,” said the Indian skipper.
