On Saturday, October 25, while playing Australia in the third and final ODI in Sydney, Indian ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer sustained a critical injury. When Shreyas Iyer made a spectacular running catch close to third man to get rid of Alex Carey, he landed awkwardly and hurt his rib cage. He was taken right away for medical care to a hospital in Sydney.
Shreyas Iyer was brought to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following medical reports that indicated internal bleeding from the injuries, according to the most recent information. For five to seven days, the middle-order batter is anticipated to be monitored.
Shreyas Iyer struck a half-century in the second ODI at Adelaide and 72 runs in two innings over the three-match ODI series.
“A laceration injury to the spleen was discovered by scans. He is undergoing treatment, his health is steady, and he is making good progress. His injury status is being continuously monitored by the BCCI Medical Team in collaboration with experts in Sydney and India. To assess Shreyas’ daily development, the Indian Team Doctor will stay in Sydney with him, the BCCI announced in a formal statement on Monday, October 27.
“Shreyas Iyer has spent the last few days in the intensive care unit. He had to be admitted right away after internal bleeding was discovered following the complaints. He will be monitored for two to seven days, depending on his recuperation, as it is necessary to prevent the spread of infection because of the bleeding,” a source told India TV.
“The team physician and physical therapist didn’t take any chances and sent him to the hospital right away. Although things are currently steady, it might have been lethal. “He’s a tough boy and will be alright soon,” the person continued. He will undoubtedly require extra time to recuperate due to the internal bleeding, and it is currently impossible to establish a firm schedule for his comeback to competitive cricket, the source continued.
