Vinod Kambli's friend Marcus Couto suggested he was under danger of having brain stroke because clots in his brain cannot be resolved. "I have formed a WhatsApp group including his friends – mostly cricketers – and without taking names, they contribute a lot financially. His memory isn’t good, but over the last six months, it hasn’t declined either. He can’t remember much, but when something clicks, he does. Otherwise, it gets difficult for him. Vinod has a clot in his brain, which cannot be removed because he did not take precautions early. And the doctor has suggested that he could have a brain stroke," Couto was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
