Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli have left the bitter things behind and started their friendship after avoiding each other. Kambli blew the fire in 2009 when he said Tendulkar didn’t help him to overcome from down, which brought an end of their friendship.

Kambli confirmed this news on Monday evening and said “Yes, everything is fine between us and I’m happy with it. We hugged each other. We want to tell people that we’re back.”

“We are very close… we were very close. He could have done a little more, but he didn’t,” said Kambli in July 2009 during a TV interview. Master Blaster was very sad with these words and he didn’t invite his childhood friend for his final Test match in Mumbai. Moreover, Tendulkar even didn’t mention him in his farewell speech.

Though, now everything seems good between these two batsmen. Kambli explained that it was a mutual decision. “It was mutual, and I’m very glad about it,” he added.

It is notable both former players started their cricket together in Ramakant Achrekar’s cricket coaching. They hit the headlines during their childhood days when they shared a record partnership in school cricket, which led their name to mention in ‘Wisdon’.

Tendulkar and Kambli both were seen during a book launch event in Mumbai. Senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai launched his new book “Democracy’s XI: The Great Indian Cricket Story”, where both players spotted together.
