India all-rounder Hardik Pandya and former India skipper M.S. Dhoni share a very close relation not only on the field but also off-the-field. The young all-rounder on Saturday had posted an image on social media stating that he is missing the Ranchi cricketer and his adorable daughter Ziva following which the Mumbai all-rounder received a heartwarming reply.

Dhoni’s wife — Sakshi Singh Dhoni reminded Hardik that he has a home in Ranchi too. In the image posted by Hardik, Sakshi commented: “Awww Hardik Pandya, you know you have a home in Ranchi too, right?”

Hardik, who last month underwent a successful surgery to treat his lower back issue which ruled him out of cricket for an indefinite period, seemed to be missing his teammates and the quality time he spent with them. The Mumbai cricketer had on Saturday took to photo and video-sharing social networking website Instagram where he posted a picture of himself with former India skipper Dhoni and his daughter Ziva. Sharing a throwback picture, Hardik had captioned it: “Miss this little one (and the big guy too).”

Earlier, Hardik was seen enjoying a pool session with Ziva and Dhoni at the stumper’s residence in their hometown Ranchi.

Pandya last featured in the three-match T20I series against South Africa at home where he aggravated his back. He was, therefore not picked in the squad for the three-Test series against the Proteas and for the series against Bangladesh.

The right-handed all-rounder was checked by the doctor who treated him during India’s tour of England in 2018 and the 2019 World Cup.

On the other hand, it is not clear when Dhoni will again don the gloves for the national team. He has been away from international cricket since India’s exit from the World Cup after losing the semi-final clash against New Zealand.

New Delhi: An 83-year-old Delhi man who suffered a heart rupture has got a new lease of life after undergoing a “high-risk” surgery at a hospital near here during which his heart was put on a special support device for almost two hours, doctors said.

The patient, N S Mehra, a retired businessman from Preet Vihar in East Delhi, “had suffered a massive heart attack due to sudden blockage of the main artery supply in the heart, leading to the death of the heart muscle causing a heart rupture,” Max hospital said in a statement Tuesday.

The six-hour open-heart surgery was performed recently by a team of doctors at a private hospital in Vaishali, hospital authorities said.

Heart diseases claim a significant number of lives in India across a wide range of demographic profiles. Men are known to be at a “higher risk” in comparison to women and with age and pre-existing co-morbidities, complexities go up, it said.

“The patient had a history of hypertension and had suffered a massive heart attack due to instantaneous blockage leading to a hole in the wall of left ventricle. And his heart was beating at double the normal rate when he was brought to the hospital,” the statement said.

Mehra was brought to the Max Super Speciality Hospital in Vaishali on a ventilator.

“The patient was put on a heart-lung machine and his heart was arrested for almost two hours,” the hospital claimed.

“The rupture was repaired through double suturing also known as ‘double-layered repair’ using a small part from synthetic materials or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and pericardium (the outer the membrane enclosing the heart),” said Gaurav Mahajan, Principal Consultant and Head – cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, at the hospital.

In majority of heart rupture cases, patients are unable to reach the hospital in a treatable condition as the condition deteriorates at a life threatening rate, he said.

“A highly complex open heart surgery was performed by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, including cardiac surgeons, physicians, anaesthetists, nurses and perfusionists. After a week of surgery care and observation, Mehra was discharged with a positive prognosis,” Mahajan said.
