Written by Sumit Seth

Vinod Kambli has clotting in his brain, as revealed by the doctors treating him after he was admitted to the hospital on Monday. Kambli’s health detonated over the past weekend as he was taken to Akruti Hospital after complaints of urinary infection and cramps.

The hospital conducted a series of examinations as Dr Vivek Trivedi, who is treating the former India cricketer, revealed that after the test results, they found clots in his brain. Kambli’s health is being constantly monitored and the team will carry out additional medical examinations on Tuesday, the doctor said. Trivedi also said hospital in-charge S Singh has decided to provide life-long free treatment to Kambli at his medical facility.

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.

He has had several health challenges over the past few years as he also underwent two heart surgeries in 2013, with financial support from Sachin Tendulkar.

Kambli made a public appearance at the start of this month in Mumbai, where he was seen unveiling a memorial of legendary cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar at the iconic Shivaji Park alongside his childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar. Kambli’s health didn’t look in the best of the state at the event.
