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.

"Fashion Me Lag Gaya": Ex-Pakistan Star On Ishan Kishan's Absence From Indian Team
Gautam Gambhir's reign as head coach of Indian cricket team has been off to a brilliant start with the Suryakumar Yadav-led side taking an unassailable 2-0 in a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. Both teams will square off in the series finale on Tuesday, ahead of a three-match ODI rubber, starting August 2. India will be boosted by the presence of their big stars, including captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both announced their T20I retirements last month. The ODI series, however, will also mark the return for star batter Shreyas Iyer into the Indian team set up.
Virender Sehwag Explains Why He Prefers IPL Coaching Role Over Team India
The Indian cricket team found a new coach in the form of Gautam Gambhir after Rahul Dravid's tenure ended, with a triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. Though Gambhir doesn't have coaching experience with state or Ranji teams, he did very well while mentoring Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders in the last three years. Gambhir, however, didn't have much competition for the Team India head coach job, with only WV Raman competing with him. Many names were linked with the position left vacant by Rahul Dravid but most weren't keen. Former India star Virender Sehwag has explained why.
1 Over, 3 Wickets: 'Bowler' Rinku Singh Sends Clear Signal With Brave Show In T20 League
Meerut Mavericks continued their dominance and remained on top of the points table with another victory in the UP T20 2024 as they defeated the Kanpur Superstars by 22 runs via the DLS method. Having set a target of 106 in nine overs in the 20th game of the competition at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium the Mavericks bowled Kanpur out for 83 to clinch their sixth victory. A solid showing with the bat from Madhav Kaushik helped Meerut make 90 from their nine overs despite a relatively slow start. Zeeshan Ansari followed that up with a continuation of his dream run this season with a three-wicket haul in the two overs he bowled in the chase. Zeeshan's spell, which came after Ankur Malik's 13-ball 33 had given the Kanpur side the start they needed, proved to be the turning point of the game.
Virat Kohli Asked By Ex-India Coach "Are You From Krypton?" Always Gave Same Reply
Arguably the greatest white-ball batter there ever has been, Virat Kohli, has often come across praises where he has been described as an 'alien'. His knack for runs, ability to channelise aggression, energy, and commitment to the game, aren't matched by many. In fact, former India fielding coach R Sridhar revealed that he once even asked Virat if he was from 'Krypton', the mythical planet where Superman was born. Kohli, however, refused to delve into the chatter and always responded to this question with a smile.
