Team India of 1983 will help Vinod Kambli: India’s first World Cup winning team of 1983 will take care of Vinod Kambli and help him get back on his feet. The great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, who was a part of that winning team, confirmed this. Recently, team captain Kapil Dev had also indicated this. Vinod Kambli has been struggling with health related problems for some time.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar called players like Kambli ‘sons’ and assured fans that members of the 1983 team would unite to help their fellow cricketers. The second match of Border Gavaskar Trophy is to be played between India and Australia. Sunil Gavaskar is also a member of the broadcasting team covering it. He said, ‘The 1983 team is very cautious about young players. He is like a grandson to me. Some of them are like sons. I don’t like the word help. What the 1983 team wants to do is continue this concept. We want to feel Vinod Kambli and help him stand on his feet. How we will do this, we will see in the future. We want to keep in mind those cricketers who are struggling with luck. Earlier there were reports that Kapil Dev also wants to help Vinod Kambli.
Balwinder Singh Sandhu, who was a member of the Indian team that won the 1983 World Cup, also talked about this. He said, ‘Kapil Dev was the captain of the 1983 team. He has clearly told me that if Vinod Kambli wants rehabilitation, we are ready to help him financially. However, he must prepare himself first. If they do, we are ready to pay the bill. ‘No matter how long the treatment lasts.’
