In a show of support, the hospital in-charge, S. Singh, announced that Kambli would receive free lifelong medical care at the facility.
Kambli, who was part of India’s 1996 World Cup-winning squad, has faced a series of health and financial difficulties since retiring from cricket. He has previously suffered two heart attacks and has been battling a number of health issues, including the urinary infection.
Earlier this year, Kambli opened up about his struggles with alcohol addiction and financial instability, expressing his gratitude for the support provided by his childhood friend and former teammate, Sachin Tendulkar. Kambli was last seen at a memorial event for his coach, Ramakant Achrekar, where he appeared frail and emotional, meeting Tendulkar once again.
