Vinod Kambli's recent appearance at a memorial for the iconic coach Ramakant Achrekar has raised alarms about his health. He looked quite frail and weak, and a viral video captured him struggling at the event, holding onto his childhood buddy Sachin Tendulkar and not wanting to let go. This emotional scene has only intensified the concerns among fans and former teammates.

A video that popped up on social media captures Kambli holding onto Tendulkar during their reunion at an event. It looks like Kambli didn't want to let go, even with the crowd getting bigger and the event moving on. This clip has only fueled worries about his health, which had already been a topic of concern after another viral video in August showed Kambli having trouble walking.

"He's dealing with serious, multiple health problems," shared Marcus Couto, a former first-class umpire and a close friend of Kambli, with the Times of India.

Kambli going to rehab again seems pointless—he's already been there 14 times! We took him to a rehab center in Vasai three times. Couto and his brother Ricky dropped by Kambli's place in Bandra after that video in August, really worried about what he's going through with his health and addiction.

Members of the 1983 World Cup team are ready to help Kambli.

Support for Kambli is coming from a surprising place. Even though his struggles with alcohol addiction have pushed away many of his former cricket teammates, some members of India’s 1983 World Cup-winning squad are now ready to help him out. The catch? Kambli needs to be open to taking that first step toward getting better.

Kapil Dev, the captain of the 1983 team, has made it clear to me that if he decides to go to rehab, we’re ready to help him out financially, said former Indian bowler Balwinder Singh Sandhu.

But he needs to check into rehab on his own first. Once he does that, we’ll cover the costs, no matter how long he needs to stay, Sandhu continued.

The 1983 World Cup legends had previously united to support former opener and coach Anshuman Gaekwad during his fight against cancer, showing the strong bond that still exists among the 1983 squad. Now, they’re hoping Kambli will take the right steps to get his life and health back on track.
