Vinod Kambli (pronunciationⓘ; born 18 January 1972)[1] is an Indian former international cricketer, who played for India as a left-handed middle order batsman, as well as for Mumbai and Boland, South Africa.[2][3] Kambli became the first cricketer to score a century in a One-day International on his birthday.[4] He was a part of the squad which finished as runners-up at the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy.

He has the highest career batting average for an Indian test cricketer of 54[5][6] but he played his last test when he was just 23 years old. Thereafter, he was only considered for One Day International matches, although his last appearance in that format was also at the young age of 28.[7][8]

He has appeared as a commentator on various television channels and worked with a Marathi news channel as a cricket expert for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[9][10] He has also been a part of various reality shows and done a few serials and Bollywood films as an actor. He played a supporting role in the Kannada film Bettanagere.[11][12] Kambli is currently on the Cricket Improvement Committee for Mumbai Cricket Association [13]

In his 17 Tests, he averaged 69.13 in the first innings, and just 9.40 in the second innings, with a difference of 59.73.

He made his ODI debut in 1991 against Pakistan during the Wills Sharjah Trophy. He played world cup tournaments in 1992 and 1996.
