Shreyas Iyer in Sydney hospital due to internal bleeding
Shreyas Iyer admitted to ICU after internal bleeding
India ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been admitted to a hospital in Sydney and is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after suffering internal bleeding resulting from a rib cage injury sustained during the third match against Australia.
Iyer, who had taken a brilliant catch while running backwards from backward point to dismiss Alex Carey, appeared to have injured his left rib cage in the process.
According to sources, Iyer fainted in the dressing room and his vital parameters were alarmingly low. He was rushed to the hospital soon.
“Shreyas Iyer sustained an impact injury to his left lower rib cage region... He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Scans have revealed a laceration injury to the spleen. He is under treatment, medically stable, and recovering well,” the BCCI said in a statement on Monday (October 27, 2025).
“The BCCI Medical Team, in consultation with specialists in Sydney and India, is closely monitoring his injury status. The Indian Team Doctor will remain in Sydney with Shreyas to evaluate his day-to-day progress,” the statement added.
The 31-year-old will remain under observation for 2-7 days.
Initially, Iyer was expected to be out of action for about three weeks, but the recovery period may now be longer. He is expected to remain in the Sydney hospital for at least a week before being declared fit to travel back to India.
Iyer is not part of India's T20 squad.
