In a new clip, Kambly reassures fans and supporters that he is “healthy and fine.” The footage, which reportedly features schoolmate Ricky Couto and first-team referee Marcus Couto, shows Kambly looking elated as he discusses his health.
“I’m fine,” Kambly said, giving the camera a thumbs-up. “I’m alive by the grace of God. I’m healthy and fine. I’m ready to bat at No. 3.” He joked, recalling his cricket days. “I used to hit spinners outside the pitch. Shivaji Park!”
The latest video has come as a relief to Kambly’s fans, especially since many were concerned about his health due to his previous videos.
In the footage released earlier, Kambly appeared unsteady and required assistance from those around him to walk, as multiple media outlets have cited.
Speculation abounded on social media, with some suggesting health issues were the cause of his death, while others claimed he may have been drunk.
Many fans who were shocked by the video urged Kambli’s long-time friend and former teammate Sachin Tendulkar to come forward.
Known for his explosive batting in the 1990s, Kambli was a key figure in Indian cricket. He earned fame for his domestic and international performances, including a memorable double century in the Test series win over England in 1993. However, injuries and instability affected his cricketing career, preventing him from reaching his full potential.
