You are the happiest…Amit Shah said such a thing about Vinod Kambli, the Home Minister himself was stunned to hear it.
Vinod Kambli is going through a bad phase. This former Indian cricketer is currently struggling for money. Vinod Kambli, Sachin Tendulkar's childhood friend, had once earned fame and money like Sachin, but the situation is completely opposite. Neither his body is with him nor he has enough money to live a good life. He is surrounded by many diseases. Now he is dependent only on the pension he gets from BCCI. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has made a big revelation about Vinod Kambli.
The Union Home Minister said about Vinod Kambli, 'I met Vinod Kambli during a cricket program in Chennai. By then he had retired but once upon a time, he was considered a very good batsman. I asked him, Vinod, when were you the happiest during the ups and downs in your life? He should tell me the time. I thought he would say when I scored a double century. But he told me, 'Sir, I defeated many big players. We won and broke many records, but even today I am happiest when I teach a young player to play on the backfoot.'
Vinod Kambli has represented Team India at the international level. Kambli, who has played more than 100 ODIs for India, is a childhood friend of master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar. At one time, the friendship of both was quite famous. But on the one hand, where Sachin was called the 'God of Cricket', on the other hand, Kambli has been forced to live a life of anonymity for a long time. Meanwhile, Amit Shah, while recalling a meeting with Vinod Kambli, shared an anecdote related to the former cricketer.
Vinod Kambli has played 104 ODIs and 17 Test matches for India. He played his last Test in 1995. He last played in the 50-over format in 2000.
