Ganguly operated upon

Published January 29, 2021

KOLKATA: India’s cricket chief and former batting star Saurav Ganguly underwent a second heart bypass operation in less than four weeks on Thursday, but doctors said he was “fine” after the surgery.

The 48-year-old Indian cricket legend was admitted to a hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday after complaining of new chest pains.

“Ganguly has undergone successful angioplasty and two stents have been implanted in his two cardiac arteries,” Saroj Mondal, one of the doctors treating Ganguly, said at the hospital.

“He is fine and good. He will be kept under observation for a few days,” the doctor added.

Ganguly underwent a similar operation on Jan 3 after being rushed to hospital when he was working out in a gym.
