BCCI president and former India captain Sourav Ganguly was discharged from the Woodlands Hospital in Kolkata on Thursday. Ganguly, who was admitted to the hospital last Saturday after he complained of chest discomfort, stayed an extra day after he was set to be discharged on Wednesday. Ganguly underwent an angioplasty last Saturday and a nine-member team of doctors met on Monday to to decide the future course of action on Ganguly’s treatment. “Mr Ganguly is clinically fit. He slept well and had his meal. He wanted to stay in the hospital for one more day. So he will go home tomorrow. It is his personal decision,” Dr Rupali Basu, MD and CEO of Woodlands Hospital had said on Wednesday.

“He is fine and has no chest pain or any other complications. Our team of doctors monitored his health condition thoroughly this morning,” a senior official at the hospital had said on Wednesday.
