Biography
Vinod Kambli
Last Updated: Monday, November 09, 2009
Vinod Ganpat Kambli is a former Indian cricketer.
He is primarily a left-handed batsman (having just bowled 4 balls in international cricket). The major teams for which he played were India, Mumbai and Boland. He was 17, and Sachin Tendulkar 16, when they put on a world-record unbroken 664 run partnership in a school match.
In his first seven Tests he racked up two double-centuries and two centuries. Although he averages 54 in Test cricket, he is not even in contention for a test berth, due to the fact that there is a perception that he is a ‘minnow basher’, having reserved his highest scores for 1990’s easybeats Zimbabwe and England. He also got into a mess over the short ball and faced disciplinary action numerous times.
He is still remembered for crying when the 1996 World Cup semi-final match between India and Sri Lanka was disrupted due to crowd misbehaviour, and Sri Lanka was declared the winner. He played his last test in 1995 against New Zealand and his last One-Day International (ODI) in 2000 against Sri Lanka.
