Kambli shared a message urging people to avoid alcohol. During a media interaction (as reported by TOI), he promised to make a comeback at the Shivaji Park ground. He commented:

“This doctor (Shailesh Thakur) made me fit and I had stated that I would come back only when I am fit. I will show people in Shivaji Park that I Vinod Kambli will not leave cricket. These guys (at the hospital) gave me good cricket practice. I ‘hit’ only fours and sixes. Enjoy the new year. Don’t drink alcohol. Enjoy life.”

Vinod Kambli’s health became a cause for concern after a video of him struggling to walk went viral on social media. Additionally, he appeared frail and had difficulty speaking during the inauguration of the Ramakant Achrekar memorial last month.
