Shocked to hear about @SGanguly99 being suddenly hospitalised. Just a few days ago, meeting him after a while, i recall being impressed at how fit & athletic he still looked, years after retiring from cricket. Get well soon #Dada , millions are praying for your speedy recovery. pic.twitter.com/SxTHWWVyc5

Speculations about Ganguly's political entry
On 28 December, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly held an hour-long meeting with West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, at Raj Bhavan and he described it as a "courtesy call" while clarifying that nothing is political about it. However, speculations are rife about former Indian Captain joining BJP ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in the state due in April-May next year. "If the Governor wants to meet you, you have to meet him. So let us keep it like that," he said when asked if he will join the saffron party. After the meeting, the Bengal Governor said that he discussed varied issues with ‘Dada’ Sourav Ganguly. Meanwhile, Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh said that successful persons like Ganguly should enter politics.
