[edit] Early life
Kambli hails from Kanjurmarg, a suburb of Mumbai.The small patch of land that served as his first cricket pitch was surrounded on all sides by high-rise buildings.The scoring system was dictated by the lack of space, and the higher a batsman hit the ball into the buildings the more runs he scored. It explains why Kambli was one of the best over-the-top hitters of spin bowling. Kambli accepted Christianity in September,2010 at the St Peter’s Church, Bandra.[1]

He shared an unbroken partnership of 664 runs in a school match against St. Xavier's School, Fort, with Sachin Tendulkar.[2] Kambli contributed 349* before their coach Acharekar forced the pair to declare. Kambli, who started his Ranji trophy career with a six off the first ball he faced,[3] soon followed Sachin in to the Indian team. Kambli made two double-centuries and two centuries in seven tests. He played in his last Test match when he was just 24 years.[vague]He formally announced his retirement from first class cricket on 22 September'2011.[4]
