Friend’s glittering career was ruined by drug addiction, the strongman made up his mind, rejected the offer worth crores, never did this work

New Delhi. A star of the Indian cricket team whose career started in such a way that international cricket was shaken. Got fame but drug addiction ruined everything. We are talking about former Indian batsman Vinod Kambli, whose brilliant career was ruined due to drug addiction. His close friend Sachin Tendulkar learned a lesson after seeing the condition of his friend and never advertised any intoxicant throughout his life.

Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli, both Indian players, made big hits at a young age. He made such a splash in domestic cricket that the selectors were forced to give him a chance in international cricket. On one hand, Sachin Tendulkar considered cricket as his everything and dedicated his life to it with full dedication. While giving first priority to sports along with discipline, Vinod Kambli fell into the grip of drug addiction. Attention shifted from sports and his career came to a halt.

Drug ruined brilliant career
Experts believe that Vinod Kambli had more talent than Sachin Tendulkar. In 1988, while playing for Shardashram Vidyamandir School against St. Xavier’s School, the pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli created a world record by making an unbroken partnership of 664 runs. While Sachin scored 326 runs in this partnership, Kambli scored unbeaten 349 runs. While Sachin had a lackluster start on his international debut, Kambli made the record of being the youngest Test double century for India. At the age of 21, he scored 2 double centuries and 2 centuries in his first 7 Tests. Drug habit and lack of discipline ended his Test career in just 2 years.

Sachin rejected the offer of crores
Sachin Tendulkar, who made his international debut at the age of just 16, worshiped cricket and never allowed it to be tainted. On one hand, his close friend’s career was ruined due to drug addiction, while on the other hand, Master Blaster did various advertisements throughout his career but never promoted any intoxicant. He rejected the offer worth crores because he knew that the youth of the country follow him. If they advertise something like this, it will send a wrong message to the youth.
