Vinod Kambli did not like Sachin's batting, which used to trouble him, and then the friendship broke like this.
Vinod Kambli and Sachin Tendulkar were trained by Mumbai coach Ramakant Achrekar. Hence, both of them attended the inauguration of his memorial, the video of which went viral on social media. Fans were very happy to see the meeting of both childhood friends. However, Sachin looked very uncomfortable while meeting him. Kambli tried to stop him for a while by holding him. But Sachin freed his hand and went and sat on the other side. Meanwhile, a big revelation by Sanjay Manjrekar has come to light. He had told 3 years ago how Kambli used to trouble Sachin by criticizing him repeatedly.
Kambli did not like Sachin's batting
Former Indian cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar, Sachin, and Vinod Kambli are from Mumbai. All three have played together for Team India. 3 years ago, during an interview with Sportskeeda, Manjrekar made a big revelation about the friendship between Sachin and Vinod Kambli. He had said that Kambli did not know Sachin's batting. He often criticized him, which upset the calm-natured Sachin.
Manjrekar shared an anecdote from the 1992 World Cup and said that Kambli was participating in this tournament for the first time. He was not getting opportunities because he did not have experience. Manjrekar and Sachin were playing every match. Then after every match Kambli would come to Sachin and criticize his batting and give advice to play faster. After winning a match against Zimbabwe, he came to both of them.
Sachin and Manjrekar batted well, despite this Kambli came and said that the match could have been won sooner. He told Sachin that he should have hit fours and sixes against an average bowler, while he was taking singles. However, later when he got a chance, he himself could score only 24 runs in 41 balls against Pakistan. Sachin also questioned him on this.
Is this how Sachin-Kambli's friendship broke?
Vinod Kambli had accused Sachin of not helping him in his bad times during a reality show. This had a deep impact on their friendship. Sachin felt so bad about this that the conversation between the two stopped. For many years, the two did not meet or talk. Sachin did not even mention Kambli's name while giving a speech at the time of his retirement.
