Currently in recovery and getting better with each passing day, he wrote.

Iyer sustained the injury during the third One-Day International against Australia in Sydney while attempting a diving catch, which resulted in an impact to his ribs. He was immediately transported to a hospital where he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to internal bleeding.

Subsequent examinations confirmed a spleen injury. His condition stabilized, and he was moved out of the ICU on Monday.Earlier this week, T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav provided an update on Iyer’s condition on Tuesday.

When I found out about his injury, I spoke with our physio, Kamlesh Jain, Yadav said. Shreyas is now responding on the phone, which is a clear sign that he is stable.

Yadav added, It is very unfortunate, as these cases are quite rare, but rare things happen to rare talents. By God’s grace, everything is fine now. We will take him home after the series concludes.
