While Tendulkar’s career flourished, earning him a place among the greatest cricketers in history, Kambli’s career, despite a promising start, was cut short. In recent years, videos of Kambli struggling with mobility issues have surfaced, raising concerns about his health. At the event, a video shared by Shivaji Park Gymkhana showed an emotional moment between the two friends. Sachin greeted Kambli, who appeared frail and remained seated throughout the interaction. Holding Sachin’s hand for an extended time, Kambli seemed deeply moved before the legendary batter eventually walked away. The video, marked by its awkwardness, left many fans reflecting on the contrasting journeys of the two former cricketers.
Sachin Tendulkar’s cricketing journey remains unmatched. Over his illustrious career, he amassed an unparalleled 34,357 runs in 664 international matches, averaging 48.52. He holds the record for the most runs in both Test and ODI formats. Tendulkar scored 15,921 Test runs at an average of 53.78, including 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries. In ODIs, he accumulated 18,426 runs at an average of 44.83, with 49 centuries and 96 half-centuries.

Tendulkar also made history as the only player to have participated in 200 Test matches, underscoring his consistency and endurance. Among his many accolades, winning the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2011 was a crowning moment. After making his World Cup debut in 1992, Tendulkar’s dream was realized when India defeated Sri Lanka in the final.
While Tendulkar never won an ICC Champions Trophy, he competed in five editions and maintained a commendable individual record, even if it didn’t match his World Cup achievements.Ailing Vinod Kambli Reunites With Sachin Tendulkar; Their Awkward Interaction Goes Viral.
