He underwent an angioplasty and had a stent inserted to open up his clogged arteries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During his second stint in the hospital, two more stents were inserted, doctors said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Ganguly is absolutely OK,&quot; one of the doctors treating Ganguly, Saptarshi Basu, told&nbsp;as the former left-handed opener left the hospital. &quot;His heart is very strong. We hope that he can resume his normal activities in a few weeks.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly was feted by hundreds of youths outside the hospital and at his Kolkata home when he was discharged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>They threw rose petals at his car and shouted: &quot;Welcome Dada (elder brother). We are with you.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ganguly was unanimously elected president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the sport&#39;s most powerful body in the country, in 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He had retired from Test cricket in 2008 having accumulated 7,212 runs including 16 centuries -- his first made at Lord&#39;s on debut. He also scored 11,363 runs in 311 one-day internationals.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
