New Delhi: Vinod Kambli was one of the best batsman of his era. He is the first Indian batsman to score a double century in Tests at the age of 21 years and 32 days. In 1993, Kambli scored a double century against England. The batsman who scored 1000 Test runs in 14 innings is again in the news. Kambli’s career did not last long and ended after a few years.
It came as no surprise to many cricket fans that the batsman with an average of 54, which included two double hundreds to his name, played only 17 Tests. Now, after retirement, Vinod Kambli is all set to give up his lucrative lifestyle, forced to survive on a BCCI pension of only ₹30,000 for the cricketers.
The left-hander, who reportedly scored a century after drinking 10 pegs of hard liquor last night, is now ready to quit drinking as well if he takes up a coaching role. Kambli, who once scored a century on the field even after drinking 10 pegs of alcohol, now wants to do something for cricket.
