It’s extremely sad to learn that Graham Thorpe is no longer with us. His reputation as a naturally gifted, free-flowing batter who played fearlessly and with flair, always stood out. Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family and close ones. Rest in peace, Graham.— Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) August 5, 2024

Kambli has experienced his tussle with bouts of health issues in the past including the cardiac attack he suffered from in the year 2013 while on a drive in Mumbai. And a year earlier the former batter had undergone angioplasty on two of his blocked arteries.
Kambli’s prowess with the willow in his hand is well documented with his most fruitful period in the game is coming while he is partnering with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. The exploits of the batters are the stuff of fables as they picked apart one bowling attack after the other during their heyday.
