Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has been admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in Delhi on Tuesday evening with a clot in one of his deep veins, says an Indian Express report. Sidhu is reportedly suffering from a condition called acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
On Tuesday evening, Sidhu tweeted the following from his hospital bed.
“Mr Navjot Singh Sidhu was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals Delhi on Tuesday evening with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is a life threatening condition if not treated on time.” In DVT, clots create obstruction in the blood vessel, hindering the normal blood flow. According to hospital sources, after initial treatment his condition is stable. “Mr Sidhu has been put on blood thinners and has been recovering well. His condition is said to be stable as of now,” said the hospital according to Indian Express.
Sidhu played 51 Tests and 136 ODIs for India between 1983 and 1999.
