India’s ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is in ICU after suffering internal bleeding from a rib injury during the 3rd ODI against Australia.
Iyer got injured while taking a running catch to dismiss Alex Carey. He appeared to hurt his left rib cage and was taken to the hospital soon after.
Doctors confirmed internal bleeding after reports came in. Iyer was admitted immediately to prevent infection and kept under close observation.
The BCCI medical team acted fast as Iyer’s vitals fluctuated. He was rushed to the hospital and is now reported to be in stable condition.
Initially expected to miss three weeks, Iyer may now take longer to recover due to internal bleeding. Doctors haven’t set a return date yet.
Iyer will stay in Sydney hospital for at least a week before returning to India. He is not part of India’s upcoming T20I squad.
