Shreyas Iyer Injury Update: Shubman Gill & Co. suffered a 2-1 defeat in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Australia. Thanks to the brilliant performances of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the final match, the Indian team managed to avoid a clean sweep. However, the recent update from the Indian camp is a bit stressful for the team and fans, as the Indian ODI team vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been admitted to a hospital in Sydney, where he is under close observation in the ICU.
Shreyas Iyer Injury Update
The Indian ODI vice-captain was injured while fielding during the third ODI against Australia in Sydney. The incident occurred in the 34th over when Alex Carey’s catch off Harshit Rana’s bowling went in the air. Iyer, standing at backward point, dived to take the catch, but in the process, he injured his ribs.
But now, reports indicate that Shreyas is suffering from internal bleeding. He has been admitted to the ICU for the past few days and will be monitored for two to seven days, depending on his recovery, as there is a risk of infection due to bleeding.
Recognizing Iyer’s deteriorating condition upon returning to the dressing room, the BCCI medical team acted swiftly. The team doctor and physio took no chances and immediately took Shreyas to the hospital. While his condition is now stable, it could have been fatal.
