Vinod Kambli discharged from hospital after successful treatment

Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli was discharged from a private hospital at Bhiwandi in Thane district on Wednesday, January 1 after undergoing a two-week treatment. The 52-year-old was seen walking out of the hospital at around 4 PM IST. Notably, Kambli was initially admitted to Akruti Hospital on December 21 for urinary infection and cramps, but the doctors later said that clots were found in his brain.

While walking out of the hospital, Kambli made an appeal to people to cut down on alcohol and narcotic drugs, saying that vices can destroy one's life. Dr Vivek Trivedi, who treated the former India cricketer, declared Kambli to be now "completely fit" but mentioned that he will have to take certain precautions.

A video of Kambli wearing a Team India jersey and wielding a bat before he left the hospital has gone viral on



social media. Earlier, Kambli was also seen dancing to the tune of the famous patriotic song ‘Chak de India!.’

Three days after he was rushed to the hospital, Kambli was also seen singing a motivational song. He thanked his friends and well-wishers for their support during the tough times. In an emotional statement to the media, Kambli said he was not yet ready to leave cricket.

"I will never leave cricket because I remember the number of centuries and double centuries I have hit," he had said.

Kambli has been battling health issues for quite some time now. A recent video of Vinod Kambli with Sachin Tendulkar went viral on social media. The two were seen attending an event honouring their childhood coach, Ramakant Achrekar. Observers were shocked by Kambli’s frail appearance and visibly poor health.
