Watch: Vinod Kambli dances to ‘Chak De’ at Thane hospital, video goes viral-OxBig News Network

Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli was seen dancing to the tune of ‘Chak De’ at a hospital in Thane, Maharashtra, where he has been receiving treatment for health issues. Kambli appeared cheerful as he danced in his hospital room, bringing relief to his fans and well-wishers.

The video of Vinod Kambli dancing was widely shared on social media. Notably, on Monday, doctors at Akriti Hospital said that Kambli’s health condition was improving.

Although appearing frail, Kambli has remained optimistic about his recovery.

Kambli, 52, initially complained of urinary infection and muscle cramps following which he was admitted to the private hospital on December 21. Later, a series of medical examinations revealed clots in his brain.

Three days after he was rushed to the hospital, Kambli was seen singing a motivational song. He also 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.

Several former cricketers, including ex-captains Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, have offered to help Vinod Kambli.

Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar said that the 1983 World Cup-winning team was ready to help Kambli get back on track.

“The 1983 team is very conscious of the younger players. For me, they are like grandsons. If you see their age, some are like sons. We are all very concerned, particularly when fortunes desert them. I don’t like the word help. What the 83 team wants to do is take care of him. We want to take care of Vinod Kambli and help him get back on his feet,” Gavaskar said.

Kambli played 17 Test matches for India and scored 1084 runs at an average of 54. He played 106 ODIs and featured in the 1996 World Cup.
