"What u have done for me in the last 5 days is something I will remember for life ..have known U for 40 yrs now ..and it's gone beyond just family," Ganguly wrote on Instagram.
After getting discharged, the former Indian skipper also thanked the medical team of Woodlands Hospital for looking after him and doing the needful procedures.

The treating doctors will now be keeping a "constant vigil" on Ganguly's health and appropriate measures will be taken from time to time, the hospital said.
