Indian cricket star Shreyas Iyer experienced a lacerated spleen and was admitted to a Sydney hospital after an awkward fall while attempting a catch during the final ODI match versus Australia, according to cricket authorities.
The 30-year-old injured himself on match day while fielding to dismiss Alex Carey, with Iyer holding his abdomen and showing discomfort after tumbling onto the SCG turf.
Medical examinations showed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under medical care, medically stable, and recovering well.
Following immediate medical attention, the player did not return in the match, which India ultimately won by a significant margin. Australia had already won the series with earlier victories in the first two matches played in Western and South Australian cities.
The medical emergency was reportedly "critical at that moment," according to media reports.
The Indian team doctor will remain in Sydney with Shreyas to assess his day-to-day progress and guarantee proper recovery from the significant injury.
India's next fixture include a five-match Twenty20 series against Australia, beginning in Canberra on midweek. Iyer is not included in the T20 squad due to his current condition.
