National team batter Shreyas Iyer experienced a spleen laceration and was admitted to a Sydney hospital following an unfortunate tumble while attempting a catch during the third one-day international against Australia, according to team officials.
The 30-year-old injured himself on match day while fielding to remove Alex Carey, with Iyer clutching his side and showing discomfort after falling onto the Sydney Cricket Ground field.
Medical examinations showed a tearing wound to the spleen. He is under treatment, medically stable, and recovering well.
After receiving immediate medical attention, the player was unable to continue in the game, which India ultimately won by a significant margin. Australia had previously secured 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 news sources.
The Indian team doctor will stay at Sydney with Shreyas to assess his daily improvement and guarantee proper recovery from the serious medical condition.
India's upcoming matches include a five-match Twenty20 series versus Australia, beginning in Canberra on midweek. Iyer won't participate in the T20 squad due to his current condition.
