During the same interview, Ganguly reassured that he was absolutely fine and in good health. For the unversed, Ganguly hasn't been in the best of conditions as he was hospitalised twice in the month of January. The BCCI President was first admitted to a hospital in Kolkata on January 2 after experiencing chest pain while working out in the gym at his residence. After getting tests done, it came to light that Sourav Ganguly had suffered a mild cardiac issue. Thereafter, the Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata had set up a three-member board headed by Dr. Saroj Mondal, who performed primary angioplasty on the ex-cricketer.

The size of the board grew in subsequent days, with prominent doctors from other cities and hospitals also joining, including heart specialists Dr. Ramakanta Panda and Dr. Devi Shetty. As per PTI, the decision to conduct an angioplasty on Ganguly at the Apollo Hospital was taken after noted cardiologist Devi Shetty went through his test reports. The former skipper's vital parameters were reported to be stable and he was subsequently discharged after angioplasty was conducted. As per reports, two stents were implanted to clear blocks in one of Sourav Ganguly's coronary arteries.
