Suryakumar Yadav On Shreyas Iyer Injury
In the pre-match press conference, Suryakumar Yadav said,
“We spoke to him on the first day when we got to know that he had an injury. I called him first. Then I found out he didn’t have a phone. Then I called my physio, Kamlesh. He told me that he is stable. On the first day, I don’t know how, but he was looking good. We have been talking for two days now. He has been replying. If he is replying on the phone, it means he is stable. It is looking good. He is talking, and everything is normal. Shreyas said that he will take care of himself for a few more days. He has been replying and talking to everyone, so it is good.”
Further, he said,
“We are not doctors. When we saw him from outside, we thought he was normal. But none of us were there. Only those who were there could tell us. They told us that after going inside, we felt that we had to take care of him. He was rushed to the specialist. They told us what had happened. After that, when we talked to him, he started talking normally.”
“We felt that he is fine now because doctors and physios told us that whatever happened was unfortunate. This has never happened. It is very rare, but Shreyas is also rare. Rare things happen with rare talent. But it’s okay. God has supported him. He is recovering really well. Doctors are supporting him. BCCI has shown full support. He will recover soon, and we will take him home with us.”
In the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, Shreyas Iyer scored 72 runs in two games, in which 61 runs came in the second ODI in Adelaide.
If we look at India’s T20I squad against Australia in the upcoming series, then it would look like this.
