BCCI president and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has been hospitalized in Calcutta after suffering chest pains.
Mamata Banerjee, the prime minister of West Bengal, the Indian state where Ganguly was born, said on Twitter that he had suffered “mild cardiac arrest.”
According to the Press Trust of India, the 48-year-old man complained of chest pains after a training session on Friday and was subsequently taken to hospital on Saturday.
Sad to hear that @ SGanguly99 suffered a mild cardiac arrest and has been admitted to the hospital.
Wishing you a speedy and complete recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family!

The southpaw also played in 311 one-day internationals between 1992 and 2007, racking up 11,363 runs, a tally dwarfed only for India by Sachin Tendulkar (18,426) and Virat Kohli (12,040).
