Regarded as one of India’s finest captains, Ganguly’s health news has been the talk of the town for the last 24 hours and the cricket fraternity queued up on social media to wish him a speedy recovery.

Taking to Twitter, the official handle of International Cricket Council (ICC) wrote: “Former India captain and current BCCI President Sourav Ganguly suffered a mild cardiac arrest earlier today. He is now in a stable condition. We wish him a speedy recovery!”
