Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli has shared a video from the Nidan Centre for Elderly Care in Thane, saying he is receiving treatment and praising the facility’s care, cleanliness and support. He is 54 and recovering at the centre near Mumbai.
Kambli appears to struggle while speaking in parts of the video, prompting concern among fans. The Times of India reports that he was hospitalised in Thane in December 2024 with a urinary infection, low blood pressure and other complications, and was discharged in January 2025. Rediff, citing PTI, describes him as recovering and thanking the medical team and support staff. Kambli played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India between 1991 and 2000.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The reports differ mainly in emphasis. NDTV and The Times of India lead with Kambli’s difficulty speaking and the resulting concern, while Rediff foregrounds his reassurance and recovery. The Times of India adds the fullest medical background, whereas Rediff provides fewer details and relies on PTI. Together, the coverage supports a limited conclusion: Kambli is receiving care and has spoken positively about it, but the video alone does not establish his current medical condition. His treatment at the Nidan Centre is the immediate fact to follow.
