5 cricketers whose looks changed over the years

Vinod Kambli

Vinod Kambli was one of the most naturally gifted batters of the 1990s, a flamboyant figure who shared a famous unbroken partnership with Sachin Tendulkar in school cricket. His appearance today is a stark contrast to those years. At a public appearance at Wankhede Stadium, he required assistance from two handlers to walk.

Medical updates indicate he is dealing with neurological complications linked to a persistent brain clot, which has affected his memory and mobility. He relies on a stick for everyday movement. His wife has dismissed some of the more extreme reports about his condition as exaggerated, while Tendulkar and close friends have organised a support system to assist with his rehabilitation.
