Vishwa Samudra Open: India’s iconic 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has expressed his willingness to assist former cricketer Vinod Kambli, provided the Mumbai star takes the initiative to address his struggles. Kambli represented India in 17 Tests and 104 One-Day Internationals between 1991 and 2000, amassing 3,561 runs across both formats.

Kapil Dev emphasised the importance of self-help as a starting point for meaningful rehabilitation.

Speaking at the launch of the Vishwa Samudra Open, Kapil Dev, also the president of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), said, "We are all (there) to support him. Sunil Gavaskar has already told me on behalf of the 1983 World Cup-winning team, and I extend my help on my behalf, but more than me trying to support him, he should support himself. We can't look after him if he does not want to look after himself," Kapil Dev said on Monday.
