"I thank the doctors at the hospital for the treatment. I am absolutely fine. Hopefully I will be ready to fly soon," Ganguly said after getting discharged.
He also thanked his childhood friend Joydeep for being there for him in the difficult phase of life.
"What you have done for me in the last five days is something I will remember for life...have known you for 40 years now and its gone beyond just family," Ganguly said in an Instagram post.
A nine-member medical team was formed at the hospital to look after the former India captain.
"Treating doctors will be keeping constant vigil on his health situation and taking appropriate measures from time to time at home," the hospital said in their Thursday morning bulletin.
During his stay at the hospital, the BCCI chief was visited by various political leaders, including West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah had also called upon Ganguly and inquired about his health.
