Team India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer hospitalised in Sydney after sustaining a serious rib cage injury during the third ODI against Australia. The cricketer is currently under observation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to internal bleeding detected post-match.
Iyer injured himself while taking a stunning catch running backwards from backward point to dismiss Alex Carey. Moments after returning to the dressing room, he complained of pain, and his vital signs fluctuated, prompting the medical team to rush him to a local hospital — marking the beginning of this serious turn of events. Shreyas Iyer hospitalised news has left fans deeply concerned.
BCCI Confirms Internal Bleeding, Player Stable
According to a BCCI source quoted by PTI, internal bleeding was detected soon after medical reports arrived. “He had to be admitted immediately to stop infection from spreading due to the bleeding,” the source said. “He will remain under observation for anywhere between two to seven days depending on his recovery.”
Doctors are keeping a close eye on Iyer’s condition. The source added that though things are stable now, the situation could have turned fatal if not addressed swiftly. The 31-year-old is expected to remain admitted for at least a week before being fit to fly back to India.
Recovery Timeline Uncertain
Initially, Iyer was expected to miss three weeks of cricket. However, with internal bleeding involved, the recovery period is now uncertain. “It’s difficult to put a definite timeline on his return,” the source revealed. Currently, he is not part of India’s T20 squad, allowing him time to focus on recovery.
