Sourav Ganguly suffered a heart attack earlier

The BCCI President was earlier rushed to the hospital on January 2 after suffering a mild heart attack. The 48-year-old had complained of chest discomfort, heaviness of the head, vomiting, and a spell of dizziness while exercising in his home gym.

Sourav Ganguly underwent a quick primary angioplasty to clear a blocked artery at the Woodlands Hospital. Test results had shown that Ganguly’s three arteries had over 70 percent blockage, post which he received a stent in one of them. He was later discharged on January 7 after spending a few nights under observation.

As soon as the news of Sourav Ganguly’s hospitalization for the second time came to light, fans and well-wishers took to social media to pray for his health. Many cricket fans wished the former India captain a speedy recovery.
