Friend's career ruined due to drugs, businessman rejected crores of rupees, never…


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 his friend's condition and never advertised any drug throughout his life.

Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli, both Indian players made big hits at young ages. 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. He lost focus on the game and his career ended.

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

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