Vinod Kambli’s Health Fluctuates Months After Brain Clot Diagnosis, Condition Stable for Now
Vinod Kambli's health update: Couto said, "He has completely given up drinking, but he still struggles with his addiction. He often asks for cigarettes from passersby or auto drivers, who, assuming he's the great Vinod Kambli, give him cigarettes, unaware of the detrimental effects it can have on his brain."
Vinod Kambli, former Indian cricket player, once again finds himself facing health problems. Almost one and a half years have passed since the time when the former cricket player got cured of a urine infection problem, but he is not entirely healthy now.
Kambli's close friend and former first-class umpire, Marcus Couto, told the Times of India, "Since being admitted to a Thane hospital about 18 months ago, Kambli has had a blood clot in his brain. This has affected his memory. He remembers some things and forgets others."
According to Couto, Vinod has stopped drinking alcohol altogether, but he is still addicted to smoking. This habit poses great risks to Kambli because Dr. Adil Chagla, a reputed neurosurgeon who has been treating the patient, claims that smoking can increase the chances of having a stroke.
