Sourav Ganguly hospitalized
Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata on Saturday, with West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee revealing that he had suffered a mild cardiac arrest.
Ganguly was rushed to the Woodlands hospital after experiencing chest pain while working out in the gym at his residence. After getting tests done, it came to light that the former Indian captain was suffering from a cardiac issue, but his condition is reported to be stable.
The Kolkata hospital has set up a three-member board headed by Dr Saroj Mondal who will perform an angioplasty, and Ganguly will be discharged shortly after, said hospital sources.
This comes days after the BCCI President met West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar on December 27 at Raj Bhawan. Ganguly had described it as a "courtesy call", saying that it had nothing to do with the political developments in the state.
