Former Pakistan cricket team captain Inzamam-ul-Haq underwent an angioplasty following a heart attack scare this week in Lahore.
51-year-old Inzamam-ul-Haq was brought into a hospital after complaining of chest pains, and has since undergone a successful angioplasty and is now recovering, his agent shared.
As news of Inzi’s health started doing the rounds on Internet, many sports figures and celebs came out to extend prayers for his speedy recovery. Sports personalities from across the border, including Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, also wished him well.
Tendulkar took to his Twitter to wish Inzamam-ul-Haq a speedy recovery and wrote, “You’ve always been calm yet competitive, and a fighter on the field. I hope and pray that you’ll come out stronger from this situation as well. Get well soon.”
