One of the most successful bowlers in international cricket, Muttiah Muralitharan, has undergone heart surgery at a city hospital. Muralitharan is a Sri Lankan cricket coach and is currently a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad support staff in the ongoing IPL.

With a remarkable career as a leading wicket-taker in international cricket (1347 scalps), Muralitharan represented Sri Lanka in 133 Tests, 350 ODIs and 12 T20 Internationals.
