BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday night. While he has been admitted to a city hospital and is under observation, his family members, which include his wife Dona Ganguly, and daughter Sana Ganguly tested negative.

In what comes as a piece of good news, the former Indian captain is currently doing well. According to a report by the Times Of India, his family has said that his health parameters are fine. The 49-year-old’s wife went on to speak about his current condition.

“He is fine and all his health parameters are fine right now. He has no other complications. Sourav had a mild fever and sore throat from Sunday. He was immediately isolated and the test was done,” said his wife Dona Ganguly.

“Snehasish-da (his brother) had Covid last year. My parents, my mother-in-law also had Covid. Several of our house helps had also tested positive at different times. It is not as if Covid erupted suddenly in the family. Moment Dada had just a hint of fever, he was immediately isolated. Maybe that is why Sana and I tested negative,” she added.

It is to be noted several family members of the former Bengal cricketer were tested positive last year, as well as earlier this year. Nevertheless, Saptarshi Basu, who happens to be Ganguly’s doctor, also said that there was nothing to worry about. As a matter of fact, he even said that the legend had no fever on Tuesday morning.

“Dada had no fever on Tuesday morning. He is under antibody cocktail therapy,” said Saptarhshi Basu. Thus, it is only a matter of time until the Bengal tiger is once again, fit and fine. Earlier in January, the former Indian opener had to be hospitalized twice in quick succession after complaining of “chest discomfort.

Over the last few weeks, the former Indian batter and current BCCI President was constantly capturing the headlines for the entire captaincy controversy. Post the axing of Virat Kohli as the ODI skipper, there were a lot of statements made by him regarding the same. Fans of Indian cricket had mixed opinions about him with respect to the BCCI appointing Rohit Sharma as the new ODI skipper.
