Kambli's deteriorating health remains a concern for many of his loved ones including his ardent fans. But despite battling several health challenges upfront, the ex-cricketer seems to be holding up well. Kambli, in his maiden statement after being admitted thanked the doctors for their continued efforts in restoring his degrading health. Moreover, S Singh, the hospital in-charge also assured Kambli of life-long free treatment.

At the time of his admission, Kambli was in a poor mental condition. He was observed to have been suffering from fever and dizziness and appeared very drowsy upon his arrival at the hospital. But Dr Vivek confirms that the cricketer is now in a position to respond to the doctors, hospital staff, and fans, serving as an indication that he is on the slow path to recovery.

"We did all the investigation and after that came to know that he was having a urinary tract infection along with electrolyte imbalance. Sodium was a bit on the lower side, potassium was on the lower side. That was the reason for the cramps. His BP was also on the lower side. We started him on antibiotics."
Kambli's health has been sliding downhill for quite some time now. However, serious concerns sparked when the ex-cricketer was spotted with his childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar during the unveiling ceremony of Achrekar's stature. Since then, more visuals of him emerged where was spotted walking with a lot of discomfort without the support. Besides, this was not the first time Kambli was admitted to the hospital.

This happened one month ago. My head started spinning; I collapsed and fell down. The doctor told me to get admitted."
