'I am feeling better...Thanks to Sachin Tendulkar': Vinod Kambli gives health update from hospital
Maharashtra: Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, currently recovering from a recent health scare, expressed his gratitude to longtime friend and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
Speaking to reporters from hospital, Kambli said, "I am feeling better now... I will never leave this (cricket) because I remember the number of centuries and double centuries I have hit... We are three left-handers in the family. I am thankful to Sachin Tendulkar as his blessings have always been with me."
Kambli, who was admitted to a hospital after his health deteriorated on Saturday, continues to recover from a urinary infection. His friend Marcus Couto provided an update, reassuring fans that Kambli’s condition is stable.
The 52-year-old was brought to the hospital by one of his fans who also owns the hospital in Bhiwandi's Kalher area in Thane district and his condition is said to be stable, even though the exact reasons for his hospitalisation could not be ascertained.
Kambli was admitted to the hospital on Saturday.
Kambli, who played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India between 1993-2000, had recently attended the inauguration of legendary coach Ramakant Achrekar's memorial at the Shivaji Park here.
The former India cricketer, who has been struggling with health-related issues for quite some time, appeared frail in the function which was also attended by his long-time friend Sachin Tendulkar.
