On Sunday, a bulletin provided by the Woodlands hospital in Kolkata, said that Ganguly "had an uneventful last night". A routine ECG will be done on him on Sunday morning. The bulletin also said that the treating doctors are keeping a constant vigil on the BCCI chief's health situation and taking appropriate measures.
