Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi on Friday (January 13) shared a shocking update about his health, saying that he is on 24×7 external oxygen after catching Covid-19 twice in two weeks and deep pneumonia.
Taking to Twitter, the 59-year-old posted pictures from the hospital bed while also revealing that he was airlifted to London from Mexico after three weeks of confinement.
“After 3 weeks in confinement with a double Covid in 2 weeks accompanied by influenza and deep pneumonia - and post trying several times to leave.

“The flight was smooth. Unfortunately still on 24/7 external oxygen. Thank u to all at @vistajet for going the extra mile. I am extremely grateful to all. Love to all. Big hug," he added.
In another post, Lalit Modi also acknowledged his saviours — the two doctors who took care of him.
“With my two saviours. The two Drs seriously for 3 weeks monitored me treated.

Last year, Lalit Modi took the internet by storm, announcing that he is dating Bollywood diva Sushmita Sen. He had shared a number of pictures with Sushmita on social media, calling the actress his ‘better half’ and describing it as a ‘new beginning’.
Lalit Modi was a key figure in running the IPL from 2008 to 2010. He fled from India to seek asylum in the United Kingdom in 2010 amid investigations into tax evasion and money laundering.
