Vinod Kambli Controversies: From Drunk Driving to Accusing Sachin Tendulkar; The Kambli Conundrum

In
the
latest
episode
of
his
tantrum,
the
player
now
finds
himself
violating
two
IPC
sections
and
can
be
in
trouble
for
his
antics.
Also,
the
former
player
was
potentially
under
the
influence
of
alcohol,
which
only
makes
matters
worse
for
him.

But
this
is
not
his
first
time
flirting
with
the
violation
of
laws.
Kambli
has
been
in
the
limelight
for
all
the
wrong
reasons
since
the
beginning
of
his
career.
Despite
being
abundant
with
talent,
he
never
flourished
for
India
and
his
mentality
and
lack
of
discipline
are
deemed
the
reason
for
his
underwhelming
career.

Vinod
Kambli
Controversies:

He
has
been
involved
in
many
controversies
throughout
time.
Here
we
take
a
look
at
some-

Match
Fixing
in
World
Cup
1996

Kambli
claimed
the
1996
World
Cup
semi-final
match
was
fixed.
India
lost
the
semi-final
against
Sri
Lanka
at
the
Eden
Gardens
and
the
pictures
of
Kambli
leaving
the
field
in
tears
amid
crowd
unrest
are
still
vivid
in
many
minds.
And
the
player
later
accused
team
captain
Mohammed
Azharuddin
and
other
batters
of
fixing
the
match,
including
the
team
manager
of
that
World
Cup.

The
last
time
I
remember
seeing
a
cricketer
crying
was
Vinod
Kambli
when
Sri
Lanka
knocked
them
out
of
the
World
Cup
in
1996

Ramming
the
Society
Gate

He
was
arrested
by
Mumbai
Police
for
ramming
into
the
gate
of
his
housing
society.
Kambli
got
involved
in
a
fight
between
society’s
watchman
and
some
residents
last
February
and
was
involved
in
an
ugly
spat.

Drunk
Driving

Kambli
was
arrested
by
Bandra
Police
for
drunk
driving
and
hitting
a
car.
A
case
was
filed
against
him
for
breaking
three
sections
of
IPC
–
279
(reckless
driving),
336
(endangering
life
and
safety
of
other
persons)
and
427
(acting
to
cause
harm).

The
Punch
in
the
Mall

Although
Kambli
had
nothing
to
do
with
it,
but
a
case
was
launched
against
him
for
the
tantrum
of
his
wife
Andrea
Hewitt
in
a
mall.
Andrea
was
touched
on
her
hand
by
the
father
of
Indian
singer
Ankit
Tiwari,
and
she
reacted
by
punching
the
elderly
person.
Ankit’s
family
lodged
a
case
against
Kambli
and
his
wife.

Assaulting
the
Maid

Although
Andrea
Hewitt
is
the
victim
in
the
latest
case,
she
is
not
a
saint.
The
couple
was
accused
of
locking
their
maid
for
three
days
in
a
room
in
2015,
when
she
asked
for
money.
Kambli
had
to
go
to
jail
for
this
but
the
case
was
dismissed
later
with
the
allegation
that
the
maid
used
to
take
drugs.

Abusing
Sidhu
and
Ramiz
Raja

Kambli
abused
former
India
player
Navjot
Singh
Sidhu
and
former
Pakistan
chairman
Ramiz
Raja
on
Twitter.
Later
he
apologized
and
said
a
friend
of
his
actually
tweeted
those
from
his
account.

Accusing
Sachin
Tendulkar

Kambli
also
accused
Sachin
Tendulkar
of
not
helping
him
during
his
rough
phase.
Tendulkar
and
Kambli
were
childhood
friends
but
their
relationship
got
marred.
And
in
2009,
in
an
episode
of
the
reality
show
‘Sach
Ka
Saamna’,
Kambli
said
he
faced
discrimination
within
the
Indian
team.
He
also
added
his
friend
Tendulkar
didn’t
help
him
at
the
time.
Kambli
was
not
invited
to
Tendulkar’s
Farewell
Party
in
2013,
after
the
latter
retired
from
international
cricket.
But
things
have
changed
as
the
pair
has
come
close
again
in
recent
days.
