Sri Lankan legend and Sunrisers Hyderabad spin coach Muttiah Muralitharan has been admitted to a hospital in Chennai for a surgery.

“He had few issues and he got it tested before he came to India. Doctors in India have recommended to get it done, it’s a scheduled operation, nothing to panic” a source close to Muralitharan told NewsWire.

“He had consulted doctors in Sri Lanka over blockage in his heart before coming for the IPL. He was initially told there was no need for any stents but at the Apollo Hospital here in Chennai, he was advised angioplasty. He immediately got it done,” Shanmuganathan, the CEO of the Sunrisers, told Cricbuzz on Sunday night .

“He is very much fine and he should back in the ground in a few days.”
