Vinod Kambli video from care centre fans concern
The Story in Brief
A video of former India cricketer Vinod Kambli, 54, from an elderly care centre in Thane has gone viral, prompting fresh concern about his health. The clip, shared on 25 September, shows Kambli at the Nidan Centre for Elderly Care praising the facilities. 'It doesn’t feel anywhere here like I am not at home,' he says, according to multiple outlets. Times Now reports that Kambli needed the support of two people to walk during the video, though he appeared in decent spirits.
Kambli has faced several health problems. In December 2024, he was hospitalised with a urinary tract infection and low blood pressure. Doctors found old blood clots in his brain linked to an earlier stroke. He was discharged in January 2025. Rediff, citing PTI, reports that Kambli released the video to assure fans about his health and ongoing recovery. Former umpire Marcus Couto told Times Now that friends and former cricketers secretly contribute financially for Kambli’s well-being, and that his memory remains poor.
Update, 30 September 2026: Times Now, NDTV, Rediff and The Times of India now also report the viral video of Kambli at Nidan. Rediff, citing PTI, adds that Kambli released the video to assure fans about his health and recovery. Times Now reports he needed two people to support him while walking.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage is uniform straight reporting across all outlets, with no discernible ideological slant. Every source leads with the viral video and Kambli’s positive statement, then recites his health history from December 2024. Times Now adds the detail that Kambli needed support to walk, while Rediff frames the video as an intentional assurance from Kambli. No outlet omits his health struggles or his gratitude. The shared narrative is one of concern tempered by Kambli’s own upbeat message. The story leaves open how long his stay at Nidan will last.
