Kambli, who played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India, has been in the news over his health for some time. <!-- -->He has been seen attending functions and events, often walking with support.<!-- --> However, there were also reports suggesting that the former cricketer was recovering.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>The issue resurfaced recently when his friend Marcus Couto claimed that Kambli has a \u201cclot in his brain\u201d affecting his memory.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Kambli\u2019s wife Andrea Hewitt, however, dismissed these claims and called them false, stating that misinformation was being spread about his health.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>&#8220;By God&#8217;s grace, Vinod is fine. I don&#8217;t know who is spreading false information about his health,&#8221; Andrea told India Today.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Her statement came after Couto suggested that Kambli was dealing with a serious health issue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;Ever since he was hospitalised in Thane about 18 months ago, Kambli has had a clot in his brain. His memory is not good. He remembers things and then forgets about them. That&#8217;s all due to that clot in his brain,&#8221; Couto had said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Bombay Sport Exchange: Munaf Patel on Gautam Gambhir, Virat vs Bumrah &amp; Indian bowling.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>&#8220;Kambli has given up drinking, but he tends to smoke at times. Smoking is completely forbidden for him, because it puts him at risk of a brain stroke, as per the doctor Aadil Chagla (famous neurosurgeon), who has been monitoring Kambli&#8217;s treatment,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>&#8220;He (Kambli) seemed to be in decent health. He and his family were in good spirits. Kambli now uses a stick to walk around. His son (Cristiano) wants to become a cricketer. I requested Jatin Paranjape to enrol him at his cricket academy, and he immediately agreed. Of course, Jatin won&#8217;t charge Kambli&#8217;s son anything,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/false-information-vinod-kamblis-wife-andrea-hewitt-hits-back-at-health-rumours\/articleshow\/130327109.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vinod Kambli (Image credit: X) NEW DELHI: Videos, photos and posts about Vinod Kambli\u2019s deteriorating health have been circulating widely on social media.
