Shreyas Iyer Posts Update After Hospital Stay
Shreyas Iyer, the Indian cricket team’s batter, has given his first public update since being hospitalised in Sydney. On October 30, Iyer shared a message on his Instagram story stating, “I’m currently in the recovery process and getting better every passing day. I’m deeply grateful to see all the kind wishes and support I’ve received — it truly means a lot. Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts.”
Medical Situation
Iyer sustained an impact injury to his left lower rib cage while fielding during the third One-Day International against Australia on October 25. Scans confirmed a laceration to his spleen with internal bleeding, and he was admitted to a hospital in Sydney under the care of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) medical team. He has been described as medically stable and recovering well.
Recovery Outlook
The injury has ruled Iyer out of immediate play as he focuses on rehabilitation. Although no definite timeline has been set for his return, team officials have indicated that his progress will be closely monitored by specialist doctors in Sydney and India. His update marks a positive milestone in his recovery journey.
Impact on Team
Iyer’s absence represents a major blow to India’s batting line-up, given his recent form and importance in the team. The squad now prepares for upcoming fixtures with one of their key players sidelined, placing greater pressure on other batters to fill the gap.
