However, he was quick to point out that Sourav Ganguly is not in danger and will make a recovery in the next couple of hours.

Former India skipper and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly admitted to hospital after suffering chest pain on Saturday morning and will need to get angioplasty done by evening, according to the reports. He is now stable.

Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries after which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage, Dr Mondal, whose team performed the procedure at Woodlands Hospital, was quoted by the PTI as saying. The hospital statement also added that Mr. Ganguly's family had a history of ischemic heart disease. He was moved to Kolkata's Woodlands Hospital at around 1 pm.

One of India's most successful captains, 48-year-old Ganguly, who hails from the state of West Bengal, took over as the BCCI president in 2019.

The ESPNcricinfo website stated Ganguly had felt some "uneasiness" in the morning after doing some exercise, and was subsequently admitted to the nearby Woodlands Hospital where Dr Rupali Basu confirmed that he was undergoing a primary angioplasty.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah also informed about Ganguly's health update and said he is responding well to the treatment.

Anxious about his ill health, union home minister Amit Shah, who shared the dais with him at a cricket event in New Delhi on December 28, inquired about his condition from senior BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya who has been in touch with the hospital authorities. He lives in our hearts and we all have great regard for him. CM spoke with the hospital authority regarding Sourav's health condition and treatment too. "He is being well looked after", the Governor told media persons at Raj Bhavan.
