Even before Vinod Kambli had made a foray into test cricket, he had an early brush with fame when as a seventeen year old, he along with the sixteen-year-old Sachin Tendulkar had put on an unbeaten partnership of 664 runs in a school match. Not many at that stage of time doubted that Vinod Kambli would outshine his younger school friend. Vinod Kambli made his debut against England at Kolkata in 1993. In his first seven innings, Vinod Kambli scored two double centuries and two single centuries. With such outstanding performances glory seemed only at an arm's distance from Vinod Kambli. But this was not to be. Glory played false on the flamboyant Vinod Kambli and soon the talented cricketer was warming the benches while his teammates played. Vinod Kamblis dwindling scores led many to conclude that he was ineffectual against teams with strong bowling attack. Many believed test cricket with all its trappings of professionalism was incongruous with Vinod Kambli's lifestyle; moreover, his technique had loopholes that only got amplified in test cricket. Thus in spite of averaging 54.20 from 17 test matches, Vinod Kambli has such into oblivion. livescore.warofcricket.com gives information on Vinod Kambli and other Great Cricket Players. |
