Vinod Kambli's health looks worrying in viral video with Sachin Tendulkar: What has happened to him?

Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli's health has once again gained attention after a video of him getting emotional and refusing to let go of Sachin Tendulkar's hand has gone viral. Fans are concerned about what happened to Vinod Kambli.

In a memorial event of legendary coach Ramakant Achrekar which had several cricketers and others in attendance, Vinod Kambli simply could not leave Tendulkar's hands as the latter went to greet him. His eyes seemed welling up with emotions.

Few months ago a video of Kambli went viral where he was seen struggling to walk properly. Fans have been worried about his health.

What has happened to Vinod Kambli's health?

In 2013, Kambli suffered a heart attack while driving in Mumbai. In 2012, Vinod Kambli underwent angioplasty to treat blockages in two of his arteries. This procedure was a significant health event in his life, and his overall well-being has since been affected by these medical challenges. These health issues, combined with subsequent concerns, have influenced both his personal and professional journey. The impact of these events has been profound, requiring attention to his lifestyle and medical care.

In an earlier interview with the Times of India, Marcus Couto, a former first-class umpire who is close to Kambli, had revealed that he is dealing with several health issues.

Kambli has been dealing with addiction issues and has been to rehab 14 times. The first step in overcoming alcoholism is to realize the problem. Many alcoholics do not acknowledge the problem; they tend to downplay their drinking or make excuses for it. However, excessive drinking can lead to physical dependence, emotional issues, and severe social and professional consequences. Rehabilitation (rehab) centers provide structured programs that combine medical supervision, counseling, and group therapy to address both the physical and psychological aspects of alcoholism. Residential rehab programs are the safest places for people to detox and receive treatment.
