West Indies batsman and cricketing legend Brian Lara was admitted into a hospital in Parel as he complained of chest pains. The 50-year-old former West Indies captain is in Mumbai and was taken to Global Hospital in Parel on Tuesday morning.

He was brought to the hospital at around 12.30 p.m. and medical investigations were started immediately. Sources said that he was at an event in a nearby hotel when he complained of discomfort.

According to Marathi newspaper Loksatta, Dr. Pravin Kulkarni performed Angiography on Lara and cleared that there was no harm to his wellbeing after chest pains. This ruled out any invasive procedure like Angioplasty. Lara is in Mumbai for Star Sports World Cup broadcast and is an expert on their pre and post-match shows.
