According to family sources, the hospitalisation was merely a precaution and there was no reason to be concerned. Medical specialists recommended the 49-year-old cricketer-turned-administrator not to isolate at home due to a pre-existing heart issue.
Ganguly is Covid-19-vaccinated to the hilt. Snehasish Ganguly, his brother, had tested positive for COVID earlier this year.
In January of this year, the elegant left-handed hitter was twice brought to the hospital after complaining of chest pain. He had two angioplasty procedures after that.
