Treating doctors will keep a constant vigil on his health condition and take appropriate measures at his home after he is discharged,” Woodlands Hospital MD and CEO Dr Rupali Basu said as quoted by NDTV.

“He appeared fine and I know he will be back to his normal life soon and will play an important role in taking Indian cricket to the next level. He has to play a very vital role, first in the BCCI and then in several other fields for the country,” Thakur added.
Ganguly is credited for bringing revolution in Indian cricket as he instilled belief in all players as leader to win overseas and the mindset of Indian players changed to a great extent when he took over the Captaincy in 2000.
