Days after a video showed former India batter Vinod Kambli struggling to walk due to health issues, a new clip has emerged in which he describes him as "fit and fine". The latest video is reportedly from Kambli's meeting with his school mate Ricky Couto and First Class Umpire Marcus Couto. In the video, Kambli added that he is doing good. The video comes as a big relief for Kambli's well-wishers however NDTV could not independently verify the authenticity of both the videos.
"I'm good," said Kambli in the latest video while giving a thumbs-up sign. "By the grace of God, I'm surviving. I'm fit and fine. I'm ready to bat at No. 3 (jokingly). I'll hit the spinners outside the ground like we used to play at Shivaji Park!" he added.

Vinod Kambli's previous video had left social media users in shock. Kambli was seen struggling to walk properly in the clip as people had to give him support and remove him safely from the road. Kambli looked slightly disoriented and he was finding it quite difficult to find his balance. While some social media users speculated that he was drunk in the video, many others said that he has been physically unwell for some time and his deteriorating health resulted in his inability to move properly.
