Shreyas Iyer in ICU After Freak Injury — Fans Pray for His Speedy Recovery

Team India was left in shock as vice-captain Shreyas Iyer was rushed to a hospital in Sydney after suffering internal bleeding caused by a rib cage injury during the third ODI against Australia. The 29-year-old reportedly sustained the injury while taking a stunning catch to dismiss Alex Carey, landing awkwardly and hitting his ribs in the process.

According to reports, Iyer was admitted to the ICU soon after the match as his vitals dropped, raising fears of a life-threatening condition. Doctors later confirmed that scans revealed a laceration injury to the spleen, resulting in internal bleeding. The BCCI has assured that Iyer is medically stable and under close observation by both Indian and Australian specialists, with the team doctor staying back in Sydney to monitor his progress.

The news has sparked widespread concern among fans and teammates, with social media flooded with wishes for his quick recovery. While his return timeline remains uncertain, Iyer’s health remains the top priority for Team India as they prepare for the upcoming series.
