A special event was organized at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium to celebrate 50 years of its rich history. Many distinguished current and former cricketers graced the occasion, including Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Vinod Kambli. While Kambli’s appearance drew attention due to his ongoing health concerns, it was his wife’s unwavering support that truly stole the spotlight. In a video doing the rounds on social media, it can be seen how Andrea Hewitt holds Kambli by hand and walks him with support.

Dealing With Multiple Health Issues

Vinod Kambli, who played 17 Tests and 104 ODIs for India, has been battling multiple serious health problems over the past few years. He has suffered from heart issues, brain clot problems, and urinary issues. Although he is recovering after a recent hospital stay, Kambli still finds it difficult to speak and walk. His wife Andrea has been with him all the time, providing constant help—something that was clearly visible at the Wankhede event where she guided him around the venue, showing her role as his strongest pillar of support.

Who Is Andrea Hewitt?

Kambli first met Andrea in the year 2000. She used to be a model and a fashion designer. Kambli dated her for six years before they got hitched in 2006. Since then, they have two children, a son, and a daughter. Fans admire her dedication and care for her husband during his health setbacks and praise her for standing by Kambli through thick and thin.

A Legacy on the Field

Vinod Kambli was one of India's most promising batsmen in the early 1990s, teaming famously with Sachin Tendulkar both on and off the field. During his career, Kambli scored 1,084 Test runs, including four centuries, and amassed 2,477 ODI runs, highlighted by two hundreds. While his health issues have not been kind to his mobility, the Wankhede anniversary reminds the cricketing world of his past glories—and the unwavering support he continues to receive from his wife.
