Tendulkar remains supportive of ailing Kambli in ongoing bond of childhood camaraderie

In a heartening update, former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, who enjoyed a successful career spanning 17 Tests and 104 ODIs, is currently recovering from a clot in his brain. Kambli, who was hospitalized earlier this year, has shown significant progress and has returned home.

Kambli's younger brother Virendra has dismissed long-standing speculation about Kambli's self-perceived talent compared to his childhood friend and fellow cricket legend, Sachin Tendulkar. Virendra also stated that Kambli is stable but will take time to fully recover.

The friendship between Tendulkar and Kambli, immortalised by a record-breaking 664-run partnership in a school match, remains strong despite their different career trajectories. Tendulkar, who is still referred to as "Sachin dada" by Kambli, regularly checks on Kambli's condition and speaks with Kambli's wife Andrea.

The recent media report about another former Indian left-hander, A.K.S. Satish, who is also recovering from a clot in his brain, is a poignant reminder of Kambli's ongoing recovery. Tendulkar and Kambli enjoyed each other's company, as evidenced by their shared meals and joking around during Ranji matches.

Unfortunately, Kambli is still having difficulty speaking during his recovery. However, his progress is a source of hope for many fans who remember his outstanding performances on the cricket field.

As Kambli continues his road to recovery, the cricket fraternity and fans alike wish him a speedy and full recovery. The friendship between Tendulkar and Kambli serves as a reminder of their shared past and the indelible impact they had on Indian cricket.
