KOLKATA: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly has been admitted to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after he complained of chest pain on Wednesday.
According to reports, Ganguly had felt a slight pain in his chest on Tuesday but the pain increased on Wednesday and hence, he was shifted to the hospital without taking any further risks. He was rushed to the hospital via a green corridor and is currently stable.

Ganguly had suffered a mild heart attack earlier in January after which the former Indian captain was immediately admitted to Kolkata's Woodlands Hospital. Ganguly had suffered a sudden blackout during a workout session at his Behala resident on January 2.
Angioplasty was successfully done on Sourav's right coronary artery after the 48-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest. However, the other two damaged arteries too needed angioplasty but the doctors, after consulting Ganguly and his family, decided that the procedure would be done at a later date.
Sourav Ganguly was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries after which a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.
Further details awaited.
