Shreyas Iyer out of ICU after ruptured spleen injury; condition stable

India's ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer is recovering well. He has been moved out of the ICU after suffering a ruptured spleen and rib cage injury. Iyer is in stable condition at a Sydney hospital. Doctors are providing good care. His family is expected to join him soon. This offers relief to fans and teammates.

India's ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been shifted out of the ICU at a Sydney hospital and is now in stable condition, according to news wire agency PTI. Iyer suffered a ruptured spleen and rib cage injury during the third ODI against Australia.

“He has been shifted out of ICU and may take a few more days before being discharged,” PTI quoted an anonymous BCCI source as saying.

Iyer sustained the injury while attempting a running catch to dismiss Alex Carey off Harshit Rana's bowling. Though he initially walked off the field with support from the physio, his condition worsened later as his vital signs dropped, prompting immediate hospitalization.

Medical tests revealed internal bleeding due to a laceration in the spleen, following which Iyer was admitted to the ICU for close observation.

Talking on Iyer's health ahead of the first T20I in Canberra, India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav said: “When we saw it from outside, it looked like a normal catch. But after he went inside, the doctors realized the seriousness of the injury. He was rushed to a specialist immediately. We later spoke to him — he sounded fine, which gave us relief. It was an unfortunate incident, something that rarely happens. But sometimes rare things happen to rare talents.”

BCCI's head of medical services, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, praised the on-field medical team for their quick response, which helped prevent a more serious outcome.

“God is on his side. He's recovering well, doctors are taking good care of him, and BCCI is fully supporting his recovery,” Suryakumar added.

Meanwhile, Iyer's family members are expected to fly to Sydney soon to be with him as he continues to recover.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
