NEW DELHI: Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli, 52, recovering at a private hospital in Thane, delighted fans and hospital staff with an energetic dance performance that quickly went viral on social media.

Kambli, admitted to Akruti Hospital in the Kalher area of Bhiwandi on December 21 after complaints of a urinary infection and muscle cramps, was later diagnosed with brain clots following a series of medical examinations. Doctors have confirmed that his condition is steadily improving.

In a heartwarming moment captured on video, Kambli showcased his iconic exuberance by dancing to a popular song in his hospital ward. His enthusiastic moves were joined by a nurse and another staff member, lifting the spirits of those around him.

"I have reached this far because of your love," Kambli said, extending special thanks to Shailesh Thakur, the hospital director, for his care and encouragement.

The video has since gone viral, with fans celebrating the former cricketer's resilience and wishing him a speedy recovery. This uplifting display of positivity reminded fans of Kambli's larger-than-life personality, both on and off the cricket field.
