This is not the first instance of Kapil Dev or members of the 1983 squad offering to extend support to a former cricketer

India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev, expressed on Monday his willingness to assist Vinod Kambli but emphasised that the first step must come from Kambli himself.
"We should all try to support him (Vinod Kambli), more than I trying to support him, he should support himself, we can't look after him if he does not want to look after himself so all the cricketers feel very sad to see him and I wish he or his closest friends spending time with him all the time try to give him some sense to look after yourself, go to the rehab because as a sports person I am concerned he is going through a rough time," Kapil told PTI.
