India cricket chief Ganguly back in hospital after chest pain
KOLKATA, Jan 27, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – India’s cricket chief Sourav Ganguly was
taken to hospital with chest pain on Wednesday, nearly three weeks after
being discharged following a heart operation.
The 48-year-old former captain suffered a heart attack early this month and
underwent a successful angioplasty operation in his hometown Kolkata.
“Ganguly was rushed to Apollo Hospital after he experienced chest pain and
uneasiness on Wednesday afternoon,” Manotosh Panja, a senior doctor, said.
The left-handed opener retired from Test cricket in 2008 having accumulated
7,212 runs including 16 centuries — his first made at Lord’s on debut.
He also scored 11,363 runs in 311 one-day internationals.
