Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli has once again found himself in the spotlight amid fresh concerns surrounding his health. Recent reports suggested that the former left-handed batter was dealing with a serious condition, including a clot in the brain that was reportedly affecting his memory. However, his wife, Andrea Hewitt, has strongly dismissed these claims, calling them baseless and misleading.

Speaking publicly, Andrea clarified that Kambli is stable and recovering, urging people not to believe unverified information circulating online. Her statement comes at a time when speculation about the cricketer’s well-being has been growing rapidly across social media platforms.

Kambli was recently seen attending the IPL 2026 clash between the Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium, offering some reassurance to fans. While videos from the venue showed that he required support while walking, his presence itself was a positive sign amid the ongoing rumours.

He also mentioned lifestyle adjustments, including giving up alcohol, while highlighting medical advice to avoid smoking due to potential health risks.
