Former Indian cricketer and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly hasn't had the best of months when it comes to his personal health. He has complained about chest pains twice and had to undergo angioplasty as many times.

While he was discharged after the implantation of a single stent earlier this month, he fell ill again on Wednesday, January 27 and was admitted to Apollo hospital in Kolkata. He underwent another angioplasty on Thursday, January 28 where a couple more stents were inserted into his blocked arteries.

The angioplasty was carried out by renowned cardiologist Dr Devi Shetty and Dr Ashwin Mehta along with the team that consisted of Dr Aftab Khan, Dr Ajit Desai, Dr Saroj Mondal, and Dr Saptarshi Basu. The operation was successful and he had a good night's sleep.
