The former Indian captain was admitted to the hospital with physical “chest discomfort, head heaviness, vomiting and dizziness” while doing physical exercise at the home gym around 11pm on Saturday. After this, doctors did angioplasty on him.
It also said that the treating doctors are keeping “constant vigil” on his health situation and taking appropriate measures from time to time.

The hospital also said the “routine ECG done at 10 am is satisfactory”. On Saturday, Ganguly was tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which turned out to be negative.
He said, I had no idea that international players like him would not go through the check-up. I had asked Avishek Dalmia to get a medical check-up of the cricketers before the game.
On Wednesday, Ganguly had visited Eden Gardens and discussed preparations for the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Avishek Dalmia.
