He is reportedly suffering from severe memory loss, often forgetting daily activities and basic precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors have also warned that Kambli has a brain clot, which cannot be surgically removed. If not managed carefully, this condition could lead to a life-threatening stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Memory Loss and Daily Struggles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kambli has made some lifestyle improvements, including quitting alcohol. However, his memory issues make it difficult for him to stay consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been instances where he forgets medical advice and asks strangers for cigarettes, unknowingly risking further damage to his brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These challenges highlight how serious his condition has become, both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sachin Tendulkar and Cricket Fraternity Step In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this difficult time, Kambli is not alone.

However, high medical expenses made it difficult to continue long-term treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite support from friends, sustaining hospital costs became challenging, forcing him to continue recovery outside the hospital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current Condition: Slow but Hopeful Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, there have been signs of slight improvement. Kambli, who once struggled to walk even with support, can now move using a walking stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has also made a rare public appearance and even shot an advertisement recently, indicating a gradual recovery. However, doctors continue to warn that strict precautions are necessary to avoid further complications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2063,"template":"","tags":[1130,1129,1128],"ppma_author":[489],"class_list":["post-2062","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-sachin-tendulkar-supports-kambli","tag-vinod-kambli-health-update","tag-vinod-kambli-latest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2062"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=2062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
