New Delhi: Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli recently grabbed the headlines after his awkward reunion with his childhood friend and former teammate Sachin Tendulkar at a public event. In a video that went viral from the event, Kambli was seen clinging on to Sachin’s hands and refused to let him go while struggling to stand up from his chair. The video once again raised concerns regarding Kambli’s health issues and his current physical and mental state.
Widely regarded as one of the most talented batters of his time, Kambli played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs in his international career but could never justify his talent and potential for Team India. While his career was a story of unfulfilled potential, trouble started brewing for the former India cricketer post retirement as he got embroiled in several controversies one after another.
Kambli’s alcohol addiction is well known and was one of the biggest reasons for his downfall in his cricket career and his personal life. From failed marriages to defaulting on loans, house mantainence and allegations of beating his maid and wife, Kambli has had a troubled past and doesn’t seem to be on the right path to get his life back on track.
An explosive batter, who was known for his elegant strokes and power hitting, Kambli was once the cynosure of cricket fans in India. However, it didn’t take the ex-batter long to lose the plot as his career went wayward. However, beyond his cricket career, Kambli’s personal life has also garnered a lot of attention. His relationship with his wife Andrea Hewitt has also been an intriguing aspect of his life.
