Shreyas Iyer in ICU After Internal Bleeding Following Catch Against Australia

Sydney, Australia – Indian ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a Sydney hospital after suffering internal bleeding as a result of a rib cage injury sustained during the third ODI against Australia.

Iyer, 31, sustained the injury while taking a brilliant catch at backward point to dismiss Alex Carey on Saturday. He was immediately taken to the hospital after returning to the dressing room when his vital signs fluctuated.

According to a source familiar with the situation, the BCCI medical team acted swiftly after detecting internal bleeding. “The team doctor and physio didn’t take any chances and took him to the hospital immediately. Things are stable now, but it could have been fatal,” the source said.

Iyer is currently under observation in the ICU and is expected to remain hospitalized for at least a week. “He will remain under observation for anywhere between two to seven days depending on recovery, as one needed to stop spreading of infection due to bleeding,” the source added.

While initial estimates suggested a three-week recovery period, the internal bleeding will likely extend the timeline. “Since there has been internal bleeding, he will certainly need more time to recover, and at this point, it’s difficult to put a definite timeline on his return to competitive cricket,” the source stated.

Iyer is not part of India’s T20 squad. The focus now is on his recovery and well-being.
