Smriti Mandhana's father, Shrinivas, is currently under medical supervision, with her family doctor confirming that he sent an ambulance after receiving a call from Shravan, Smriti's brother, and that their father was transferred to the hospital due to 'angina', according to a PTI report. Smriti is expectedly attached to her father, who has been a consistent source of encouragement throughout her cricketing career.
Dr Naman Shah, Smriti's family doctor, confirmed that a medical team is monitoring her father's health. "At around 1.30 pm, Mr Srinivas Mandhana experienced left-sided chest pain, which we call 'angina' in medical terms. As the symptoms surfaced, his son called me, we sent an ambulance and he was shifted to the hospital," Shah said.
"We found out in ECG, other reports, that cardiac enzymes are elevated, hence we need to keep him under observation. Blood Pressure is also elevated; efforts are on to lower it," Shah added. The doctor stated that if the condition worsens, angiography would be conducted, and that Shrinivas could be stable by Monday.
Tuhin Mishra, Smriti's manager, stated that her father experienced a health problem early Sunday morning. She said, "Smriti's father, Mr Shrinivas Mandhana, was having breakfast this morning and his health started deteriorating. We waited, thinking he would recover soon, but it did not improve."
"So we thought not to take any risk and called an ambulance and he has been taken to the hospital. He is under observation. Smriti Mandhana is very close to her father. So, she has decided to postpone the marriage, which was going to happen today, till her father is fine," Mishra added.
A week-long celebration was already underway in Sangli, Smriti's hometown in Maharashtra, ahead of the much-awaited nuptial ceremony. Considering her father's health, the manager stated that Smriti opted to postpone her wedding till he recovered.
