The hospital conducted a series of examinations after Dr. Vivek Trivedi, who is treating the former Indian cricketer, revealed that test results showed clots in his brain.

Dr. Trivedi also mentioned that Akruti Hospital’s in-charge, S. Singh, has decided to offer life-long free treatment to Kambli at the medical facility. One of the hospital doctors also stated about how he always had a ‘cricketing’ image of Vinod Kambli, and that the former cricketer needed the doctors.

“We always had a cricketing image of sir (Vinod Kambli) in our mind. So, it inspired us that sir needs us and so, the entire team decide to do something for sir. He keeps telling us about his good memories,” said the doctor.

52-year-old Kambli was brought to the hospital by one of his fans, who also owns the medical facility in the Kalher area of Bhiwandi, Thane district.
