Ganguly was in the intensive care unit (ICU) on Thursday night following the angioplasty, which was conducted by a team of doctors, including noted cardiologist Dr Devi Shetty and Dr Ashwin Mehta.

And two more stents were implanted to clear the 48-year-old cricket legend's clogged coronary arteries.
