Vinod Kambli discharged from Bhiwandi hospital

MUMBAI: In what will be comforting news for his well-wishers, former India batter Vinod Kambli was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday after receiving treatment for various health issues. Kambli was admitted to the Akruti Hospital in Bhiwandi on Dec 21 after his health had deteriorated. Before leaving the hospital, Kambli while adressing a press conference said, "Enjoy the new year. Don't drink alcohol. Enjoy life."

Kambli walked out of the hospital in India's new ODI jersey and was greeted by his well-wishers.

Holding a cricket bat, he even played a few mock shots which were applauded by his fans. He was helped to the car and driven back to his Bandra home by Dr Shailesh Thakur, director of Akruti Health City Hospital and a die-hard Kambli fan. "He's fine now," Thakur told TOI.
